Hey there–This was Sunday lunch a couple weeks ago. Tasted just right after a couple nights of heavy duty eating out with friends! What can I say?– there’s so much crunch and it’s light and spiced just right. We gave it two thumbs up! Hope you give it a try…
CHOPPED KALE SALAD WITH HONEY GINGER DRESSING
4 cups chopped kale
1 tab. olive oil
1 avocado, cut in nice little chunks
1 cup canned garbanzo beans
1/3 cup chopped almonds
2 tab. sesame seeds
2 green onions
Dressing:
1/4 cup oil oil
2 tab. cider vinegar
1 tab. honey
1/2″ chunk fresh ginger, minced
salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
Shake together the ingredients for the dressing in a container with a tight lid until it’s all emulsified. Taste to adjust for seasoning. Set aside
Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick pan. Drop in the kale and stir it just one minute to soften it a bit.
Put it onto a pretty salad bowl and then layer on the avocado, garbanzo beans, almonds, sesame seeds and green onion. Pour on the dressing and enjoy with a sturdy chunk of good bread…
