Massaged Kale Salad with Strawberries, Edible Flowers, and Toasted Pistachios
Ingredients:
- 2 heads kale of choice
- 1 quart strawberries
- handful of pistachios
- ¾ cup oil
- ¼ cup vinegar
- 1 TB maple or honey
- handful of edible flowers
- salt, pepper
Directions:
- Wash & de-stem kale
- Create your dressing: 3 parts healthy oil of your choice (Olive, Avocado, Flax) to 1 part vinegar of your choice (Balsamic or Ume work great here). *Add in any or all of the following until vinaigrette tastes good to you: a dash of maple/honey, a pinch of red pepper flakes, a twist of lemon, a bit of Bragg’s liquid Aminos or tamari, a small scoop of dijon are some options. If something’s off, it either needs more sweet, salty, or sour…
- Sprinkle a 3-finger pinch of sea salt & pepper over kale
- Wash hands, break up/squeeze/massage salted kale with your hands for about a minute
- Pour vinaigrette mixture over massaged kale & let sit
- Wash, de-stem, & halve strawberries
- Toast pistachios
- After salted, massaged kale has sat in vinaigrette for at least 15 minutes, add strawberries, edible flowers, and toasted pistachios atop, and call it a day!
