Ingredients

  • Splash of vegetable oil
  • 2 onions finely sliced
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1-2 tsp sesame seeds
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper use a ¼ if you are wanting it mild or for children
  • 50 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 50 ml olive oil
  • 1 big bunch of kale washed and very finely sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a splash of oil in a medium frying pan and sauté the onions with the salt and sugar until soft and caramelized. Add the cayenne pepper, mustard, cumin and sesame seeds and stir until the spices are toasted.
  2. Add the balsamic vinegar and olive oil and cook for about 1 minute. Just before serving toss the warm onion mixture through the shredded kale in a large bowl.
  3. I found using a fork helped to distribute the onion evenly through the shredded kale.

Notes

  • Make the salad just before serving as you will need the warmth from the dressing components to coat and wilt the kale slightly.
