Quick & Easy Kale salad



Here's a quick and easy kale salad I eat at least 3 times a week. The best part is, it lasts about 4 days if you do not put the dressing on until you are ready to eat it. How great is that?








Ingredients:
1 big bunch kale de stemmed & diced, then massaged until the color changes dark green
1 cup dry arame, soaked and drained
3 TBS chopped onion
6 TBS chopped cilantro
3 TBS chopped parsley
1/2 cup julienne zucchini
1/2 cup julienne carrot
5 TBS chopped red bell pepper
dash salt

Mix together, and toss with your favorite dressing just before serving. Keeps in refrigerator 3-4 days plain, 2 days with sauce added.

Sauce:
1 TBS white miso plus 1 tsp red miso
1 TBS nama shoyu
2 TBS fresh lemon juice
1 TBS apple cider vinegar
5 TBS sesame oil
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/4 - 1/2 tsp agave
Whisk until smooth and creamy. Pour over well tossed veggies. Let marinate for a few hours to meld the flavors.

Whip up a batch and enjoy a beautiful healthy salad filled with calcium and tons of minerals.
Here's a link to one of my favorite kitchen tools. These little julienne tools are so handy and very inexpensive to purchase.

Many beautiful green Blessings
