Kale Salad

Here’s my family favorite Kale Salad recipe. Try to find deeper colored variety like Tuscan or Russian kale, it has more complex flavor

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup mix of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar
  • 2,3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoon of raw organic almond butter( can use sunflower or pumpkin seed butter instead)
  • 2-3 tablespoon of maple syrup or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 2 bunches of kale
  • toasted nuts ( walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios)

Directions:
1. Prepare the kale by washing it and drying it with paper towel
Remove stems( use them for juicing), slice leaves in to 1/4-inch shreds
2. In a food proccesor combine all the dressing ingredients:
olive oil, mix of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, almond butter, garlic, maple syrup, salt, pepper flakes. Process until creamy consistency is achieved
3. In a big salat bowl combine kale with dressing, massage with your hands well until all kale is coated, about 3 min
4. Serve with toasted nuts
For extra flavor add some Smoked Paprika
