Kale with Shaved Pears and Crushed Amaretti

Kale with Shaved Pears and Crushed Amaretti

This had to be the most delicious salad we have ever made.

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches kale, washed and trimmed, stems removed
3 packages amaretti ( 6 cookies), crushed
1 ripe medium Anjou pear, washed
1/4 cup grated pecorino Romano
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper

1.  Place the balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a large stainless-steel bowl. Add the kale and amaretti.

2. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the pear thin (1/8 -inch slices), removing the seeds, and add to the bowl.

3. Add the pecorino Romano and toss thoroughly so the vinaigrette coats the kale well.  Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve in a ceramic ( or other nonreactive) bowl.
