You have to love a salad that bucks all the rules—treat it roughly, make it ahead, let it sit for hours. But that’s what makes Tuscan kale such a brilliant salad green. The sturdy grooved leaves seem tough at first but, like your back after a trip to the chiropractor, relax and open up once they’re heartily massaged. A confetti of nuts, seeds, and golden raisins—a very Sicilian combination—blesses the top of the salad and provides lots of welcome crunchy contrast to the creamy almond-butter dressing.
