Kale salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Grate 2 medium carrots.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate 2 medium green apples. Add lemon juice to prevent the apples from darkening.

3. STEP 3

   

   Using a plastic knife, cut 4 medium kale leaves. Kale is a true superfood. It contains 9 out of 10 essential amino acids, more calcium than milk, and the amount of vitamin A in one glass of this cabbage is 2 times the norm.

4. STEP 4

   

   We are preparing the dressing. Heat the walnuts in a dry frying pan. Very quickly, stirring constantly. This is necessary to reveal their aroma.

5. STEP 5

   

   We transfer them to a mortar. I use a Japanese mortar - it is called suribachi and its uniqueness is in such internal grooves, which significantly speed up and facilitate the process. There is no need to grind too much, let the pieces remain for a variety of texture. Combine with cold-pressed vegetable oil (olive or grape seed) - a tablespoon and a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. Mix everything well.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add our dressing to the salad. Add Himalayan salt and pepper and mix everything well. This salad always surprises everyone who tries it for the first time! How can such a delicious dish be made from such simple ingredients! Garnish with cilantro sprigs and sesame seeds.

Yulia Reznikova, excellent vitamin salad! True, purchasing such cabbage will be a problem; I have never seen it on sale anywhere. And the rest is all extremely simple and tasty and, most importantly, healthy! Thank you very much for the valuable information and recipe! I sincerely wish you victory in the competition!

Good afternoon, interesting recipe, can you use frozen kale? We don't have any fresh ones.

This year I prescribed kale cabbage seeds, finding and buying them is problematic. This is something new for us. I didn't know about this cabbage before. Not long ago they talked about it and showed it on TV. They praised it very much and suggested that I definitely plant it in my garden. I found the seeds on only one website, wrote them out and planted them. They rose well. I have red and green cabbage. It is written that it can withstand frost well in the fall, which means it can be kept in the garden for a long time. Thanks for the recipe, very helpful.

I’ll post when I make the salad, but it’s not quick. The cabbage is still small. Very cold spring, grows slowly.
