Instructions
- Wash your kale really well, and then trim the tough stems off. Remove the spines of each leaf, too. Chop or shred the kale and add it to a large wide salad bowl.
- Toss the herbs, onions, and seeds in, I like to keep to about a 4 to 1 ratio of greens to herbs. Go heavy on the basil.
- Toss the salad with the dressing, and then scatter the flowers on top for garnish.
- To make the dressing, put the ingredients in a jar, screw on the cap, and give a good shake. Taste it before using to adjust any of the ingredients.
Notes
- The dressing is slightly adapted from my friend Mary at Barefeet in the Kitchen
