Recipe: Kale Salad

March 24th, 2010 by Kendra

: Kale Salad

: With almonds & sundried tomatoes

Summary: We took our lunch outside today, a treat we haven’t had since last summer, and something we love to do. Raw kale salad was perfect for sitting on the grass among the daisies – filling, tasty, and a good way to eat lots of something you wouldn’t normally! This recipe really makes the kale soften, making it much more palatable than it usually is in its raw state.

This recipe is adapted from one by Karen Knowler, and serves 2 as a main meal.

Ingredients

Basic:

*200g kale

*1 avocado

*tsp salt

*1/2 lemon, juiced

*3 tbsp olive oil (today I used Udo’s Choice instead)

Optional additions:

*soaked sundried tomatoes

*cherry tomatoes

*handful soaked nuts

*sunflower seeds

*spring onions

Instructions

Chop the kale into small pieces (or buy a ready chopped bag for extra convenience!). Discard the extra woody stems.
Pour the oil and salt over the kale. Using your hands, squeeze and massage the kale for a minute or two. The leaves will condense down and become much softer and juicier.
Pour over the lemon juice.
Chop up an avocado and add it to the mixture. Massage the kale again so the leaves become coated, but leave a few small avocado chunks unmashed.
Your kale salad’s almost done! Now just add any of the ‘optional additions’ you fancy, e.g. cherry tomatoes and chopped spring onions. Today we had sundried tomatoes and almonds – delicious!

Prep time: 10 mins

Number of servings: 2

Meal type: lunch
