Ingredients
Salad dressing
- 2 Natural Delights Medjool Dates, pitted and coarsely chopped
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoon orange juice fresh squeezed is most flavorful
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon Coriander
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon Salt and ⅛ teaspoon Pepper Use salt and pepper to taste
Salad
- 1 c Natural Delights Medjool Dates, quartered lengthwise and pits removed
- 1 ½ c Carrots, peeled and sliced into ⅛" coins
- 1 c Parsely, finely chopped
- 4 c Kale, coarsely chopped into large bite size pieces
- ¾ c pecans, coarsely chopped
Instructions
Make Dressing
- Add all dressing ingredients to immersion blender cup or regular blender. Process on high until it is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble Salad
- 15-60 minutes before serving, toss carrots with half of dressing and let sit to soften.
- Right before serving, in a large bowl toss Medjool dates, parsley and kale with carrots and remaining dressing. Arrange on a platter or individual plates and top with chopped pecans and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Make sure to use fresh dates and not dried, to achieve the creamy consistency in the dressing.
- Don't toss the greens with the dressing until ready to serve so they stay crisp and bright.
- Use any leftover creamy date dressing on grilled pork or chicken sliced over greens or on a roasted root vegetable salad.
