we've probably mentioned Northern Spy Food Co. a few times since moving to new york - it's a cozy spot in the east village focusing on sustainable, local, snout-to-tail cuisine, putting out creative dishes in a beautiful space and we love it! this kale salad is a favorite of ours and has gotten a lot of attention from food websites such as tasting table, who published the recipe a few months ago. just in case you haven't tasted it or seen it yet, we wanted to share this simple tasty recipe. getting ready for urban family Easter this weekend - the menu planning has begun and we'll be sure to take lots of pictures and share recipes. what will you be cooking?

I've been wanting to try kale (my daughter's been raving about how healthy it is). This salad looks like a perfect way to give it a go.
Love your site and especially the pictures. You have a great eye. Always looking for new ways to have greens. Did dandelion greens over the weekend.
i have a big bunch of kale at home so will definitely try this. i have never thought of eating kale raw!

This sounds great. I usually put kale in soup, but then have a bunch left over that goes to waste. No more!
yumm, that sounds perfectly delicious. definitely inspired to try it!
This is what I'll be cooking! Yum!
I am a HUGE fan of this salad at Northern Spy! So happy you wrote about it. ( and love that Orangette has a link to your blog!)
Oh... I just discovered your website and love that the very first post I read had to do with kale and kobacha... two of my favourite things in the world. Can't wait to try your delicious recipe... thank you for the photos and words of inspiration!
Wow I love your blog! It combines two of my favorite things, food and photography!
