eat lemon kale salad

 

lemon parmesan kale salad

2 heads of kale, washed
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 cloves of garlic, grated
1-2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
a pinch of sea salt
 crushed black pepper

chop the kale into a serving bowl and mix in the parmesan cheese. set aside. in a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and soy sauce. pour the dressing over the salad, and spend 2 minutes massaging the dressing into the leaves. the kale will reduce in size to about half of what you started with. by massaging the leaves of the kale, the bitterness disappears and the kale turns a dark, glossy green. it’s really quite beautiful! stick it into the fridge and it will be good for at least a couple of days…if it lasts that long!

did we all enjoy our labor day weekends? i sure did! how wonderful to have that extra day off…
and tuesday brings another favorite salad recipe for you today! kale has quickly become a favorite of mine. i love how crisp and peppery kale is, it’s an excellent addition to almost anything. i’ve been adding it in my smoothies, wilting it over the stove with butter and garlic, even adding it on a sandwich! and this easy spin on coleslaw makes an excellent salad to add to any meal.
