Shredded Kale Salad with Lemon, Olives and Pecorino

The green, minerally flavor of kale pairs well with sharp lemon, briny olives and funky Pecorino cheese. We rub the grated lemon zest with a little salt to fully extract the fragrant essential oils. This gives the salad extra brightness and a flavor reminiscent of preserved lemons. We like pecorino Romano, but Parmesan works nicely, too. Serve this salad as a side, or pile it on cooked rice or quinoa for a satisfying light main.
Tip
Don’t serve the salad immediately after tossing. Let it stand for about 15 minutes so the kale softens a bit and the flavors meld.
