Garlicky Kale Salad
Description
This salad begins with raw kale that is fully washed, destemmed, and dried before being chopped into bite-size pieces. The dressing combines tahini, acids from lemon juice and apple cider vinegar (or water), Bragg's liquid aminos for umami, nutritional yeast for a cheesy note, and fresh minced garlic blitzed together to a smooth consistency. Massaging the dressing into the kale breaks down the fibrous leaves, making them more tender and flavorful.
Chilling the salad for about an hour enhances the texture by allowing the kale to wilt slightly and allowing the flavors to meld, though it can be eaten immediately if desired. The result is a robustly flavored salad with a creamy, garlicky dressing that complements the hearty kale base, suitable for a side dish or light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 kale washed, de-stemmed and dried, bunch, raw
- 2 Tablespoons tahini
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar or water
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons Bragg's liquid aminos tamari or soy sauce will work
- 4 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons garlic 1-2 cloves, minced
Instructions
- Break or cut kale into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Puree all ingredients except kale in a blender or food processor to blend the dressing.
- Pour dressing over kale and massage into the kale with your hands until all pieces of kale are coated.
- 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.
