Lacinato Kale and Ricotta Salata Salad

This vibrant Tuscan kale and ricotta salata salad is a celebration of simple, high-quality ingredients. Known as lacinato or cavolo nero, the dark, earthy leaves of the kale provide a robust base that stands up beautifully to the acidity of the citrus. When finely shredded, the texture becomes tender and delicate, creating a sophisticated vegetarian dish that works equally well as a light lunch or a refreshing side for a larger Mediterranean feast.

The secret to this recipe lies in the balance of flavours between the salty, crumbly ricotta salata and the sharp shallot and lemon dressing. Because kale is so hardy, this salad maintains its crunch and freshness far longer than traditional leaf salads, making it an excellent choice for meal prep or dinner parties. Serve it alongside roasted root vegetables or grilled flatbreads for a wholesome, nutrient-rich meal.
