Warm Kale Salad with Walnuts and Roasted Red Peppers

Still working my way through a huge jar of roasted red peppers I bought from sam's club a few weeks ago.  I also have a huge bag of kale (yes, also from sam's club ha).  So, I thought a warm kale and roasted red pepper salad would be perfect on this cold day.

I looked in my refrigerator for onions and garlic... the start of any good dish.  Next, what do I want to do for protein?  I could do beans but sometimes the roughage from the kale is enough to hurt my intestines and adding fiber-full beans may just make it worse.  Then, I remembered I had opened a bag of chopped walnuts for my string beans and energy bites.  I love toasted walnuts!

And, that is how this salad recipe was born.  Enjoy!

Warm Kale Salad with Walnuts and Roasted Red Peppers

Ingredients 

• 3 cups of kale de-stemmed
• 1 cup of roasted red peppers diced (I think I cut up 5 peppers)
• 1 clove of garlic minced 
• 1/4 cup of onion roughly cut 
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• salt and pepper to taste 

Directions

1. Roast walnuts in the oven on 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes and shake the pan every 3-4 minutes to make sure they roast evenly
2. In saute pan heat oil and onions, garlic and red peppers. 
3. When onions are caramelized and translucent add kale and cover the pan for 5-8 minutes until kale is dark green and soft.  
4. Take pan off heat and add walnuts, salt and pepper to taste.  And, then you're done! Enjoy.
