HOLIDAY JEWELS CHOPPED KALE SALAD WITH MUSTARD-SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Add everything to a blender, and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Prepare the kale: remove the leaves from the tough stems (discard the stems), then stack the leaves and cut into ribbons. Add to a very large salad bowl, drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt, and use your hands to massage for about a minute, until the kale has reduced a bit in size and is bright green and glossy.
• To the bowl, add all other ingredients, reserving a bit of each one to use as topping at the end.
• Pour over half the vinaigrette, and use your hands (or a big spoon) to mix everything together really well. Top with the reserved ingredients, drizzle a little extra dressing over the top and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or place in the fridge for up to 6 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Add walnuts, sugar, and water to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, give it a good stir, then turn down heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the walnuts to the baking sheet. You want a little bit of the syrupy water to come with the walnuts onto the sheet pan, as this will add to the caramelization. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the nuts are fragrant and lightly caramelized. They'll harden and get nice and crunchy as they cool.
• I like to store these in the freezer, or you can use immediately on the salad.
