Red Kale Salad with Walnuts & Shaved Parmesan Cheese

WP_003292

As I walked through the grocery store yesterday I could not pass up the gorgeous bunches of red kale staring me in the face.  Leafy, red-stemmed stalks of greens that are the base of this nutritious and hearty side salad.  Bite-sized pieces of raw kale tossed with a simple vinaigrette, buttery walnuts and salty Parmesan cheese.  A lovely late summer salad that could easily be transformed into a main course salad with the addition of grilled chicken or perhaps a filet of tender salmon.
