I'm not even sure how I stumbled upon this recipe. Maybe I was searching for kale recipes, browsing blogs, who knows? But I'm sure glad I found it! I was going through the internet bookmarks on my phone (all recipes btw! haha) and I found this Garlicky Kale Salad I had saved from the blog Eating Bird Food.
Apparently this kale recipe was inspired by Whole Foods (love!). I just recently collected all of these ingredients and knew I must give it a try.
Garlicky Kale Salad
Ingredients:
- 1/2 bunch raw kale (washed, de-stemmed and dried)
- 1 T tahini
- 1 T water
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1 T liquid aminos (tamari or soy sauce would work too)
- 2 T nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp. minced garlic (1 -2 cloves of garlic)
- sesame seeds, to taste as garish (optional)
Directions:
- Break kale into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Puree all ingredients except kale and sesame seeds in a blender or food processor to blend the dressing. (I just mixed it in a bowl.)
- Pour dressing over kale and massage into the kale with your hands until all pieces of kale are coated. (Your hands will get very messy!)
- Let the salad sit in the fridge for an hour or so to marinate. You can skip this step if you need to eat right away, but allowing some time to marinate will wilt the kale a bit and make it a little more palatable – particularly for those who are skeptical of eating raw kale.
- Sprinkle on some sesame seeds before serving if so desired.
The dressing...
Yum yum!
The finished product!
I seriously love this recipe. The texture was great, everything. And kale is SO good for you! Leafy greens are some of the best things to put in your body.
Yay nutrients!
