Massaged Kale Salad with Pomegranate
Author: Amy from vomitingchicken.com
Recipe type: green salad
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 4
- 1 large bunch of curly kale, preferably green
- ½ lemon
- sea salt to taste (preferably Himalayan pink)
- ¼ cup coconut milk (in the can…I use regular, not lite)
- ¼ cup Virgin Coconut Oil*
- 1 small clove of garlic, minced
- fresh ginger, grated, to taste
- a scant ⅛ tsp curry
- a scant ⅛ tsp cumin
- pomegranate, peeled and broken into seeds
- Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling on top
- First, make the dressing: mix the oil, coconut cream, garlic, and spices into a small bowl.
- Clean, de-stem, and tear a bunch of kale into bite-sized pieces.
- Squeeze ½ lemon or lime over the kale and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Now for the fun part: with both hands, massage the lemon juice and salt into the kale leaves for about 2 minutes.
- Pour the dressing over the kale and keep massaging until it’s the way you like it.
- The leaves get soft and sweeter, as you massage them.
- Toss with pomegranate seeds, and sprinkle freshly-ground Parmesan cheese on top.
- Chill for a few hours or eat immediately.
- Other good additions: sliced strawberries, toasted nuts, craisins, raisins, pine nuts.
- Then the only thing left is to eat it!
- Use your imagination and add to it anything you like (post-massage!) Sliced strawberries, craisins, pine-nuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds . . .
