Isn't it the best when you land on a recipe that becomes an easy part of a weekly routine, yet never seems to get old? When it comes to healthy greens packed with vitamins AND flavor, this kale salad delivers on all fronts. And it's even a hit with the two teenage boys in the house! I think it's the subtle play between the red pepper flakes and the dried currants - that slightly hot and slightly sweet - oh, yes please.

Personally, I make as much of this salad as I can because it "holds up" well and then I can pack it for lunches during the week. It becomes a great foundation for other meals.

All you need are the following ingredients:

• Kale (the curly green kind) - I make 2 bunches minimum
• Olive oil
• Fresh lemon juice (1 whole lemon)
• Flaky sea salt (I use Maldon because I love the consistency and texture)
• Red pepper flakes
• Finely grated parmesan cheese
• Dried currents (the little Zante ones are the best I've found)
• Optional: Shaved parmesan 
• Optional: Toasted pine nuts or...
