Flamin' Hot Cheetos Kale Salad
Inspired by WBEZ [1] and Smitten Kitchen [2]
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Flamin' Hot Cheetos
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Juice of a lemon
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 bunch tuscan kale, rinsed, stemmed [3], and shredded
1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts
1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1 Pink Lady apple
Directions
- Pulse the Flamin' Hot Cheetos in a food processor until they're the texture of panko breadcrumbs.
- Whisk together the white wine vinegar, juice of half a lemon, olive oil, and a good pinch of salt in the bottom of a mixing bowl. Add the kale, and massage the dressing into each leaf. Add the walnuts and parmesan cheese, and toss to coat.
- Core and thinly slice the apple, and toss with the rest of the lemon juice in a small bowl. Add the apple and any juices to the salad. Top the salad with Flamin' Hot Cheetos crumbs, and serve immediately.
