Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon pine nuts
• ¼ cup shredded carrots
• ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper flakes
• 2 cups baby kale, shredded

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Add cherry tomatoes and carrots. Cover and set aside, letting tomatoes and carrots absorb the dressing for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over high heat. Add canola oil, pine nuts, and chipotle pepper flakes. Cook until pine nuts are crispy and covered with flakes, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 3

Place kale in a serving bowl. Top with tomato-dressing mixture. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts and chipotle flakes on top.
