Kale Summer Salad

I just have returned from a party. I took this amazing salad which I have so brilliantly named Kale Summer Salad (not super creative, I know), regardless, it was a huge hit. All the ladies were asking where I bought it and was it a kit, of course they don’t know me, and wouldn’t know I am a chef. So I said no it is not a kit I made it and then they proceed to ask about the salad. I explained I created it with some of my favorite ingredients. One thing I didn’t say was that I left out the feta cheese because some people don’t care for it. The long and the short of it was I was being timid about my cooking skills because I didn’t want to feel like I was bragging, how silly is that. I guess the truth is for those that know me well already know that I am a great chef, because I have been working on it for forty years. These were all new people and most of them I had never seen or even talked to before today. I didn’t want to tell them about my Salad Cookbook, “A few of my favorite things . . . Salads” and how I love salads and there are one of my favorite foods on earth. I love creating unique salads and salad dressings and that I love sharing it with the world. Well there you have it, I am not sure what was up with me being timid . . . it’s not at all like me and was definitely out of character. But I am going to give myself a break and chalk it up as one of those odd days. Here is the recipe for Kale Summer Salad. Bon Appetit, Cecelia
