Kale & Bacon Salad

You read that right! A delish salad featuring kale AND bacon, two foods that don't normally go together. This kale is slightly sauteed in bacon fat (yes, it's true) and then used as the base for a ton of yummy toppings. The unique flavors are sure to please even the kale-skeptic!

Servings: 2
Serving Size: 1/2 of salad
Points Plus: 5pp
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 5 mintes
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
1 large bunch of kale
1/4 cup raw farro, then cooked according to package directions
2 strips of raw bacon
2 T raw red onion, choped
10 green olives, chopped
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, diced

Directions
Head a large non-stick skillet and cook bacon until crispy. Set on a paper towel to cool. When bacon is cooled break it into small pieces.

Remove most of the bacon fat with a paper towel, leaving about 1 t in the pan. Rip kale into small pieces, rinse and dry. Add kale to your same skillet with the bacon fat and sautee for about 3 minutes, until the kale is wilted and bright green. When greens are done and all bacon fat is absorbed, split it between two dinner plates. Top each salad with cooked farro, bacon, red onion, green olives and cherry tomatoes. Enjoy!
