Directions:
De-stem kale by pulling leaves away from the stems. Wash leaves, spin or pat dry. Stack leaves, roll up and cut into thin ribbons (chiffonade). Put kale in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, and massage salt into kale with your hands for 2 minutes. To toast seeds put in a dry skillet over low to medium heat and stir constantly for a few minutes until they change color and give off a nutty aroma. Put kale in a fresh bowl, discarding any liquid. Stir onion, currants, apple and toasted seeds into kale. Dress with oil and vinegar and toss. Taste for salt and vinegar, adding more if necessary to your taste. When at desired flavor toss in cheese.

This unusual combination of healthy ingredients is bursting with flavor and texture... a nice change from the standard tossed lettuce greens for a summer BBQ.
