  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon garlic oil
  • 2 garlic cloves finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Make the vinaigrette by mixing together lemon juice, garlic oil, olive oil, honey, garlic, shallots, and salt in a small mason jar or bowl. Set in the fridge to chill until ready to serve.
  • Prepare kale by roughly chopping.
  • To take some of the bitterness from the kale, gently squeeze the kale once you have chopped it.
  • Add kale to a large serving bowl, top with chopped roasted tomatoes, and bacon. Drizzle with 3/4 of the dressing from the jar and gently toss. 
  • Serve immediately with additional dressing if desired, Italian Herb Biscuits, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • This salad is also great prepared an hour in advance, let it chill in fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy!
