Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 curly kale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tablespoon liquid aminos
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ginger peeled and grated, fresh
  • 8 figs chopped, dried
  • ½ avocado peeled and diced
  • ¼ cup cashew roasted
  • 2 egg peeled and chopped, hardboiled
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the kale leaves, remove the stems and give the leaves a rough chop.
  2. Place the leaves in a steamer on the stove and steam for 2 to 3 minutes, just until wilted, but still slightly crunchy. Immediately remove from heat and transfer to an ice bath until cold. Strain the leaves into a colander, pat dry, and set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, lemon juice, liquid aminos, maple syrup, and ginger with a fork until well combined.
  4. Add the kale and remaining ingredients to a serving bowl and pour the sesame dressing over it. Toss everything together and serve with sesame seeds on top.
