Superfood Massaged Kale Salad

4/3/2013

1 Comment

 
Green veggies are the foods most missing from our modern American diets.  This recipe is an delicious way to incorporate them into our meals.  Dark leafy greens are high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous, zinc and vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as other micronutrients and phyto-chemicals that can boost your health.  

Dark leafy greens are linked to benefits such as:  cancer prevention, improved circulation and blood purification, strengthened immune system, improved liver, gall bladder and kidney function, and the promotion of healthy intestinal flora.  So, eat up!

Picture
- 2 bunches organic Dino Kale (stems removed, washed)
- 2 tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
- Juice of 1 lemon
- about 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (sliced)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup in a proportion of your choosing:  toasted pine nuts & toasted pumpkin seeds
- 1/8 cup in a proportion of your choosing: toasted sesame seeds, chia seeds & hemp seeds
- 1/8 cup goji berries
- 1/4 - 1/2 red onion, diced
- 2 tbs GF tamari or Braggs Liquid Aminos (smilar to soy sauce)
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- black pepper to taste

Picture
Slice kale leaves into small ribbons (this is easy to do if you roll up the leaves, then slice).  Place in mixing bowl with EVOO, lemon juice and salt.  Mix up and massage with your hands for about 3-5 minutes to break down the stiff leaves - the salad will shrink to almost half it's size.  Add all of the ingredients and mix well.  Add black pepper to taste and play around with adding more of the various ingredients until it's to your liking.  Enjoy right away or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. 

Remember, you don't have to have all of these superfoods on hand in order to make a yummy salad.  Mix and match to see what works best for you!
