Instructions

  1. In a large pan on medium-high heat, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil.
  2. Cut the onion into quarters, slice, and place into the pan.
  3. Stir the onions to coat in the oil. Spread them out evenly over the pan.
  4. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook until brown and soft, about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. You may need to add more oil if the onions start sticking.
  5. While the onions caramelize, cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a medium pan on medium-high heat.
  7. Put the bacon in the pan and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the heat and set aside.
  8. In the meantime, chop the kale and set aside.
  9. When the onions are fully caramelized, add in the bacon and the kale.
  10. Turn the heat back up to medium and cook until the kale begins to wilt, about 2-3 minutes.
  11. Add the garlic, red wine vinegar, tamari, low-sugar maple syrup, salt, and pepper and mix well. Really scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the yummy onion bits.
  12. Divide the salad over 2 dishes and devour!
