Total 20 mins

Serves 4 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons currants
2 tablespoons golden or white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch kale, thick stems discarded, leaves cut into 1/2-inch ribbons (about 2 quarts loosely packed ribbons)
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
2 ounces Parmesan cheese shaved with a vegetable peeler

Directions

Place currants and balsamic vinegar in medium microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave for 30 seconds to plump up the currants. Whisk in the honey. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the kale and pine nuts. Add the dressing with the currants to the shredded kale, little by little, until adequately dressed. Spoon out the currants if you have dressing left over. Return salad to refrigerator for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight to soften kale leaves. Serve, topped with grated parmesan.
