Massaged Kale Salad Aarti Sequeira

    Cuisine:

    I made this last night and was pleasantly surprised. I typically am not attracted to fruit in my salad and wasn't sure about the honey as part of the dressing. The result was delicious! Not too sweet and different than the usual salad line-up.

    I did make a few adjustments: I massaged the kale with the juice of one whole lemon and added an extra half later with the dressing. used two ripe peaches as my fruit and I added cooked quinoa to give it some more bite and variation. Give it a try!

    Massaged Kale Salad (Aarti Sequeira),I LOVE Aarti and this is one of the first recipes she did when she became The Next Food Network Star. I had never tried Kale before but this salad looked so good when she made it I decided to try it. I tasted the Kale on the way home from the grocery store and was worried because it tasted bitter. No need to worry! The massaging technique turns the bitter coarse kale into tender bright green ribbons. The mango, honey and lemon give this salad the PERFECT balance of flavors.,I made this last night and was pleasantly surprised. I typically am not attracted to fruit in my salad and wasn’t sure about the honey as part of the dressing. The result was delicious! Not too sweet and different than the usual salad line-up. I did make a few adjustments: I massaged the kale with the juice of one whole lemon and added an extra half later with the dressing. used two ripe peaches as my fruit and I added cooked quinoa to give it some more bite and variation. Give it a try!,This won over a dinner party of 6 people. Everyone loved it! This was super-easy (I omitted the pepitas and seeds as we didn’t have them) and I will definitely make again! Thanks!
