Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams kale leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 200 grams red cabbage
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and thoroughly dry the kale leaves. Tear them into bite-size pieces, discarding the thick stems.
In a large bowl, massage the kale leaves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and scatter them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to crisp up and turn slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
While the kale is baking, thinly slice the red cabbage, julienne the carrot, and dice the red bell pepper.
Chop the green onions into small pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, white vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, mayonnaise, and black pepper until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red cabbage, carrot, red bell pepper, and green onions.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss until well combined.
Gently fold in the crispy baked kale, being careful not to crush the leaves.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving for a refreshing crunch.
