Photo: Lennart Weibull
Serves 12
Ingredients
3 oranges, divided
3 Tbsp. lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 tsp. sea salt, divided
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches Tuscan kale, ribs removed, leaves chopped into bite-size pieces (about 8 lightly packed cups)
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
Directions
Total time: 45 minutes
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Working over a large bowl, finely grate zest of 1 orange. Add 1 Tbsp. of its juice (save remainder for another use), lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, pepper and cinnamon, and whisk to combine. Whisking constantly, drizzle in oil in a steady stream. Add kale and cranberries, toss to coat and set aside at room temperature to let soften for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss walnuts with maple syrup and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Arrange on prepared baking sheet in a single layer and bake, stirring halfway through, until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Using a paring knife, remove peel and pith from remaining two oranges, then thinly slice into circles, discarding any seeds. To serve, arrange salad on a large platter, scatter oranges over top and sprinkle with maple walnuts.
Make ahead: Reserve maple-toasted walnuts and add just before serving.
