My fiance and I were first introduced to Kale through a dish cooked in a spoonful of bacon fat, a splash of vinegar, and a dash of red pepper flakes. It was love at first bite, however, a spoonful of bacon fat does not bode well for my New Year's resolutions. Looking for a healthier alternative, we switched to raw kale salads, but never really enjoyed the bitterness. Massaging the kale with a sweetened vinegarette strips this fantastic side salad of its bitterness and the toasted pine nuts mingle well with the parmesan and blood orange pieces.
