In one of my first attempts at “cooking” raw, this dish turned out really well and will definitely be filing this one away as a keeper.
Wilted Kale in a Creamy Garlic-Soy Dressing
Serves One
Kale Ingredients
• 4 heads kale (this will seem like a lot but will wilt down when the salt is added)
• 2 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/2 c Cherry Tomatoes, halved
• 1 Tbs Sunflower Seeds
Dressing Ingredients
• 1/2 avocado
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 Tbs Olive oil
• 1/2 Tbs Tamari (Soy Sauce)
• 1 tsp Agave
• Juice of 1/4 lemon
Instructions
Step 1
Remove the stems from the kale and give a quick rinse. Cut or tear into small pieces and place into a bowl. Add salt and use your hands to massage the kale until it wilts and takes on a cooked texture. Give it some time, it’ actually happens… pretty cool.
Step 2
Add tomatoes and seeds, mix together and set aside.
Step 3
Blend the sauce ingredients in a blender until creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings to taste.
Step 4
Pour dressing over kale and mix until incorporated. I don’t like a lot of sauce/dressing on anything, so I had a good amount of sauce leftover. You can keep it in the fridge (covered) for up to 2 days. Works great as a sandwich spread.
