Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 bunch kale I used purple kale
  • 1/4 cup basil both green and purple varieties, fresh leaves
  • 2 prigs thyme leaves
  • 4 mint finely chopped, leaves
  • 2 Tbsp parsley fresh
  • 1/2 red onion halved and thinly sliced, small
  • 2 Tbsp sunflower seeds or pepita seeds
  • edible pansies or other edible flowers, for garnish

tangerine poppy seed vinaigrette

  • 1 tangerine juiced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice 1/2 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Toss the salad with the dressing, and then scatter the flowers on top for garnish.
  4. 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
