Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Kale
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 sheets Sheet of roasted seaweed
- 0.5 cup Almonds, sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the kale thoroughly. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the kale in a large salad bowl.
Next, prepare the creamy dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the kale and use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale leaves. This will help to soften the kale and enhance its flavor. Massage for about 2-3 minutes until the kale becomes tender.
Crumble the sheet of roasted seaweed into small pieces and add it to the salad bowl along with the sliced almonds, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Toss the salad gently to mix all the ingredients together, ensuring even distribution of the dressing.
Serve the salad immediately as a fresh and nutritious accompaniment or light main dish. Enjoy your Whole30 Creamy Kale Salad!
