Kale is one of the most nutritious foods out there. Whole Foods Market has it listed as #1 on their nutrient density scale. Luckily, we've has lots of it to eat this summer!
I found another recipe to share. You must try it out. It is so delicious and easy to make!
Ingredients:
⅓ cup Bragg Liquid Aminos or tamari soy sauce
⅓ cup lemon juice
⅓ cup flax seed oil or extra-virgin olive oil
½ medium red onion
¼ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup sesame seeds
1 pound fresh kale
½ cup sunflower sprouts
½ cup alfalfa sprouts1avocado diced4-6
35 minutes
Combine the Bragg or soy sauce and lemon juice in a blender or whisk in a bowl. Slowly dribble in the oil as the blender turns or as you whisk vigorously. Slice the onion into half moons and marinate in the dressing as you prepare the rest of the salad.
Toast the seeds in a heavy bottomed pan (cast-iron is the best) over medium heat until seeds are just golden and fragrant. Toast each seed type separately as their size requires varying roasting times. Cool to room temperature.
De stem the kale. Slice kale leaves into ¼ inch ribbons (very important!)
Toss the seeds, spouts, and kale with the onions, and as much dressing as necessary to lightly but completely dress the kale. Thoroughly massage the kale with your hands.

Here is a picture of the salad we made at home. We did not add sprouts, but did add some fresh cherry tomatoes. This is now my favorite new kale recipe.
