It's about time I got in on the kale bandwagon. Or, rather, it's about time I posted something kale-y.
Seriously, I love kale, raw or cooked, in everything. In this case, it's raw, in a very tasty salad, and the other ingredients aim to enhance rather than cover up the greens.
This salad is similar to those I've sampled from Mother's Markets (I can get happily lost in one of those), but tangier. And unlike theirs, this has fresh grapes, not raisins, and (the best part) it doesn't cost $9+ a pound.
Those grapes were unfortunately conventional, so I rinsed them four times in warm water, until the water was no longer cloudy, to remove as much chemical residue as possible. They tasted much better for it.
The key to a good raw kale salad? Don't ask me, but making sure the leaves are torn in small, bite-size pieces really makes a difference. This is the only time-consuming part of the recipe. To make
Simple Kale Salad:
Tear 2 large leaves of kale into quite-small pieces
Top them with 2 Tablespoons avocado oil and
the juice of half a lemon; toss to coat. Add
one handful red grapes, sliced in half (around one cup of halves). Toss again to combine.
Top with 1/3 cup salted, roasted sunflower seeds and lots of
lemon pepper & salt.
Toss once more & serve!
Best eaten the day it's made, the salad will keep a day or two in the fridge,
but it will not look as vibrant as it could.
