Ingredients
- 4 cup kale
- 3 slice – 6" long bacon
- 1 each avocado
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon, whole pieces pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon, grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ medium – 2 1/2" diameter red onion
- ¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over a medium heat. Add the bacon and cook through until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat behind and set to one side.
- Thinly slice the onion and add to the pan with the bacon fat, sweating for a minute to soften. Add the kale and pine nuts and pan fry for a few minutes until the kale is just wilted and the pine nuts golden.
- Add the pan fried kale to a large salad bowl. Slice the avocado and tear the bacon into bite sized pieces. Add to the bowl, season and toss to combine.
- Drizzle over the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with the parmesan to serve.
