The General Store in Harrisville, New Hampshire, lures locals and tourists alike with its made-from-scratch food, much of it locally sourced. Their take on kale salad is delicious and very popular. “The key is to slice the kale very thinly to distribute the flavor evenly,” advises store manager Laura Carden.

Remove stems from kale and discard. Wash and spin kale leaves in a salad spinner or blot between paper towels until thoroughly dried. Slice kale thinly (1/4 to 1/2 inch wide), place in a salad bowl, and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together vinegar, shallots, and a pinch of salt. Let stand for about 10 minutes. Slowly whisk in olive oil, adding pepper and more salt, to taste.
Pour dressing over the kale and toss well. Mix in cranberries, walnuts, feta, and lemon or lime juice. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 3 days.
