You can eat as a salad (above) or wrap with vegan gluten-free pita wrap, almond wrap (below) or nori seaweed sheet.

This spicy kale mix is also a great side dish as well as a main dinner entree. Great with our gluten-free chickpea cornbread recipe.

Benefits of Kale

Kale is a superfood loaded in antioxidants. Including beta-carotene and vitamin C, as well as various flavonoids and polyphenols. Kale also has protein not as much has other protein rich vegetables but 1 cup of kale has 2.0g of protein compared to 8.6g in a cup of green peas.

Can You Eat Kale Raw?

Yes, like other leafy greens you can eat raw or cooked. Great in salads or smoothies. "Compared with raw kale, all cooking methods resulted in a significant reduction in total antioxidants and minerals, including calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and magnesium" via Healthline.com

Step By Step Instructions

Prepare Kale 

Step 1: Wash and dry the kale well (can use a salad spinner). Remove tough stems, roughly chop the leaves, and set aside to let any excess water drain.

Prepare Sauce

Step 2: In a small blender, combine olive oil, Braggs Liquid Aminos, lemon juice, garlic, ¾ cup sun dried tomatoes, cayenne pepper, and nutritional yeast. If the tomatoes are dry-packed or the sauce is too thick, add a splash of warm water to help blending.

Step 3: Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Prepare salad

Step 4: In a large bowl, add the dried chopped kale and red onion. Using a fork or clean hands, mash ½ of the avocado into the mixture to lightly coat and soften the kale.

Step 5: Pour the sauce over the kale mixture. Use your hands to massage firmly until the leaves soften and reduce in volume, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes and toss to combine.

Step 6: Let the salad rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge so the kale softens and the flavors come together. Overnight is even better.

Prepare wrap or salad

Step 7: Can eat as a salad or wrap in vegan gluten free pita wrap or nori seaweed sheet.

How To Store, Freeze & Reheat

Store in airtight container with lid in refrigerator. Kale leaves are hearty and normally massaged Kale would keep for 3 to 4 days. However, this is a salad that has already been dressed and will only be good for 1 to 2 days maximum. Eat cold or at room temperature, do not heat or freeze.
