Start by preparing the dressing in a large bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of organic extra virgin olive oil to the bowl.

Pour in 1/3 cup of white wine vinegar.

Squeeze in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add 1 tablespoon of honey, preferably local, and whisk the dressing together.

Set the dressing aside while prepping the kale.

Remove the rib from the kale leaves by bending the leaf in half and ripping it out.

Chop the kale into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the dressing.

Use your hands to knead the kale with the dressing to tenderize the leaves.

Add 1/4 cup of organic goat cheese to the salad.

Add 2 tablespoons of raisins and 2 tablespoons of slivered almonds to the salad.

Toss the salad to combine all ingredients evenly.

Place the salad in the refrigerator to let it sit before serving.
