Hail-to-the-Kale Salad

This salad is loaded with crunch. The combination of kale, carrots, cabbage and seeds makes a salad that is audibly delicious. Kale is extremely good for you, but make sure you chop it finely.

 

Allergy Warning:  It is often hard to find seeds that do not say "May contain traces of nuts" on the package.  Be very careful when including seeds. Omit seeds altogether if you have a seed allergy or are in doubt about traces of nuts.

Ingredients:

1 bunch	Kale, chopped	1 bunch
3 cups	Carrots, grated	750 ml
1/2 head	Red cabbage, thinly sliced	1/2 head
1/2 cup	Tamari pumpkin seeds (see method below)	125 ml
1/2 cup	Tamari sunflower seeds (see method below)	125 ml
1/2 cup	Flax or hemp oil	125 ml
1/3 cup	Bragg Liquid Aminos	80 ml
5 tbsp	Balsamic vinegar	75 ml
1 tsp	Oregano, dried	5 ml

Method

Wash kale and chop. Be careful to rinse the leaves to remove dirt and grit.

In a cast iron skillet over medium to high heat, stir sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Remove from heat when they’re toasted golden brown. While the skillet is hot, add in a few drops of tamari, which will sear onto the seeds. Remove and let cool.

In a large bowl combine chopped kale, carrots, cabbage and seeds. Set aside.

In a small bowl whisk together oil, Bragg Liquid Aminos, vinegar and oregano and pour over kale mixture. Toss until evenly coated and chill 2 hours before serving. This salad keeps well refrigerated 2-3 days.

Yields 8 - 10 servings.
