On Thursday my Twitter and Facebook feeds fill up with people posting old photos of themselves.  While you won’t catch me posting old embarrassing photos of myself I do think the idea is a fun one and thought what a great way to revisit some of our favorite recipes here on The Naked Kitchen that we’ve all but forgotten about.  Here’s one of my favorite summer salads that I confess, I haven’t made in quite a long time.  With all the cherries and peaches in season right now I’ve been enjoying this old favorite all week long.  Let’s welcome back this yummy old friend for our first Throwback Thursday!

• 2-3 cups kale, finely shredded, stem removed

• 2 tbsp slivered almonds

For the dressing:

• 1 small ripe peach, peeled and diced

• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp agar agar powder (optional, makes for a thicker dressing)

Preparation:
