Mache and Persimmon Salad | seasonal recipes for everyone

Mache and Persimmon Salad
Serves 4
2 small shallots
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon sugar (or stevia)
½ teapoon kosher salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil (or HCT oil)
2 Fuyu persimmons
4 oz. piece of Parmigiano Reggiano
8 oz. mache
freshly ground pepper
To make the dressing, whisk the shallots, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, sugar and salt together. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly to make an emulsified dressing. Set aside.
Cut the ends off each persimmon. With a paring knife, slice off the skin, removing as little flesh as possible. Using a mandoline, cut each persimmon into thin slices. (Alternatively, slice thinly using a sharp knife.) Set aside
Using a peeler or a knife, shave thin long strips off the block of Parmigiano. Set aside.
Place greens in a bowl and toss lightly with the vinaigrette. Divide the slices of persimmon evenly among the plates. Top each with a generous handful of greens. Top with the cheese shavings. Crack pepper over each salad and serve.

cook it up: kale chips

I love potato chips. I don’t love going to the gym. My answer to this dilemma is kale chips.
It makes sense in my head. See, kale chips are such an awesome substitute to the beloved potato chip I almost can’t tell the difference. And I figure if I have one instead of the other, I can save valuable minutes at the gym and get off of the elliptical trainer way earlier than if I was having potato chips with my lunch. Get it?! Brilliant!

In any case, here’s what you do. Prep your kale by tearing it into pieces and arranging it in a single layer on a baking sheet (don’t use the stems). Drizzle with olive oil (MCT oil for HCG) and sprinkle with sea salt & any other seasoning you might like (I used some garlic powder). Preheat your oven to 375 and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the kale gets slightly brown and crispy. Take it out. Eat it and then don’t go to the gym. xoxo
