Not Just Another Kale Salad, Or Is It?

This salad was certainly more work than normal. I had to manufacture two the ingredients in advance, and both have long lead times. The Preserved Lemons take 8 days to cure and the Crispy Chickpeas have another couple of hours of inactive cooking time to add to the total. The salad itself is a mix of kale and A Lot of parsley tossed in a homemade dressing that brought my first tin of anchovies into the house. A note here for anyone making this recipe, the book calls for half a 4oz tin, but I found a 2oz tin and so did not have to figure out what to do with leftover anchovies.

2oz Anchovies Tin

Just Another Kale Salad

For my house, this one did not live up to the hype of the name. As kale salad goes, it has too much parsley for my taste and the dressing just didn't win me over. To give credit where credit is due, as promised there is no overly fishy flavor from the inclusion of the anchovies, which will make me look at making classic caesers or nicoise salads in a more favorable light. This one though, is just another kale salad.

Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? No, I'll stick the Rainbow Kale Slaw from the Moosewood Collective when I need a kale salad people are enthusiastic about eating.
