Easy Healthy Kale Salad

Easy Healthy Kale Salad is my adaptation of a dish I found in the grocery deli section, which is based on a salad I bought at the New Leaf Market deli.

It's quick and easy, healthy and delicious. A nutritious dish for potluck dinners and for everyday meals.

KALE SALAD

1 bunch kale, chopped coarsely (use leaves with stems, cut off bottom of stems)

1/4 red onion, chopped

Juice of 1 lemon

Olive oil (approx. 1 tablespoon)

Bragg's liquid amino seasoning

Bragg's liquid amino adds the color and flavor of soy sauce but without gluten or soy ingredients. Bragg's liquid amino acids can be used as a gluten-free soy sauce replacement in many other recipes.

Instructions:

Blanch the kale in 1-2 inches of water in covered pot, 2-3 min, then spin or pat dry and place in large salad bowl with chopped red onion.  Allow to cool. 

Meanwhile, mix the juice of 1 lemon in a small bowl with olive oil in a 2/3 ratio (less olive oil than lemon juice). MIX WELL and pour over greens.

Sprinkle on top:

Sunflower seeds (purchase the kind without the shells)*

Sesame seeds*

For best results, purchase fresh sunflower and sesame seeds, or keep them refrigerated before use. Seeds which contain natural oils tend to go stale quickly. 

/Enough Bragg’s amino to coat the leaves.

Mix loosely, chill and serve.
