Hearty Kale Salad

A riff on the classic warm spinach-and-bacon salad, this recipe features thin ribbons of kale instead. Any variety of kale works, but flatter-leaf lacinato kale makes it extra-special.
Prep: 25 | Total Time: 25
-
6 cups
kale, very thinly sliced; about 1/2 large bunch; tough stems removed
-
2
hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
-
2 slices
center-cut bacon
-
2 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil
-
1/2 cup
onion, chopped
-
1 1/2 cups
button mushrooms, sliced
-
2 tablespoons
red-wine vinegar
-
2 teaspoons
whole-grain mustard
-
1/4 teaspoon
freshly ground pepper
-
1/8 teaspoon
salt
- Place kale and eggs in a large bowl.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Leaving the bacon fat in the pan, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Chop when cool enough to handle.
- Add oil and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in vinegar, mustard, pepper and salt. Pour the mushroom mixture over the kale and eggs. Add the bacon and toss to combine.
