minutesI literally dreamed up this recipe last fall, but with Persimmons and Strawberries! It’s so versatile.
I’m not a HUGE fan of Kale salads, but THIS one is my favorite!
I hope you make it!
Ingredients
½ cup ½ Sesame Seeds – 𝓉𝑜𝒶𝓈𝓉𝑒𝒹
(2) CUPS (2) fresh Strawberries – 𝓈𝓁𝒾𝒸𝑒𝒹
(2) CUPS (2) fresh Mango – 𝒸𝓊𝒷𝑒𝒹
you can substitute any fruit such as Pineapple, Blueberries, Raspberries, Persimmons or Peaches!(1) TABLESPOON (1) White Balsamic Vinegar
(2) TABLESPOONS (2) Fresh Basil – 𝑜𝓅𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝒶𝓁, 𝒿𝓊𝓁𝒾𝑒𝓃𝓃𝑒𝒹
(2) TABLESPOONS (2) + ¼ cup Orange Juice – 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝓈𝒽 squeezed is best
(8) CUPS (8) Kale – washed, ribs removed, sliced into 2-inch thin strips or bite-sized pieces
½ TABLESPOON ½ Extra Virgin Olive Oil – you can substitute with Avocado, Coconut or any oil here!
½ teaspoon ½ @latourangelleartisanoils Sesame Oil
Let’s DO THIS!
- In a bowl, carefully combine Strawberries, Mango, Balsamic Vinegar, fresh Basil (optional!) and (2) TABLESPOONS Orange Juice. Set in refrigerator for at least a few hours or overnight. (I truly think that overnight is BEST!)
- Toast your Sesame Seeds in a skillet for a few minutes, or buy them already-toasted.
- MASSAGE THE KALE:
(I usually do this 2-3 hours before serving, but you can do this as early as the morning of your lunch or dinner!)
Combine the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Kale in a bowl, and massage with your hands until the leaves darken in color, and become tender. I usually do this for about a minute. - Add in the ¼ cup Orange Juice and Sesame Oil, and massage into the Kale.
- FOR PRESENTATION:
Layer massaged Kale, then fresh Fruit!
Finish with a touch of Orange zest if you have it, and toasted Sesame Seeds!
Push Play!
