Ingredients

2 cups kale (leaves torn from the stems and chopped)
1/2 small zucchini
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 pinch coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup cashew halves, lightly toasted

Steps

1

Using a vegetable peeler, slice the zucchini into thin ribbons.
2

Heat an indoor or outdoor grill over medium-high. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini ribbons on the grates and grill until slightly charred, about a minute. You won't need to flip them since they're so thin. Just remove them from the grill and set aside.
3

In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper.
4

In a large bowl, toss together the kale, zucchini ribbons and dressing. Transfer to a plate and garnish with toasted cashews and blue cheese crumbles.
