In a smaller bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.   A half hour to an hour before serving, toss the kale together with the slivered almonds, the golden raisins, and the dressing, allowing the kale to marinate a bit.  Right before serving, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
