Kale Salad With Dried Fruits and Nuts
This serves 2 as a main dish but I frequently use it as a side for 4 servings. It is based on a recipe from "Wild About Greens" by Nava Atlas with a few changes so it better fits our Nutritarian eating style. The mix of the tart lemon juice and sweetness of the agave nectar make a simple and delicious dressing. Massaging the kale softens it for a delicious salad green.
