Zesty Kale Salad
Palm leaf kale gets an update with a zesty dressing and some nutritional yeast.
Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
- 3 packed cups roughly chopped palm leaf kale sometimes known as Italian or Tuscan kale
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil choose a fruity one for extra flavor
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place your roughly chopped kale in a salad bowl. You can use regular kale if you cannot find the palm leaf kind. See note below.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, nutritional yeast, and the salt and pepper to taste and pour over the kale.
- Toss to mix well and set aside to rest for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the kale to soften nicely before serving.
Notes
If you are using regular curly kale I suggest you use your hands to massage the dressing into the leaves a bit. This will help this slightly stiffer kale to soften up nicely as well.
