Kale Done Delicious

Rommy Kirby — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 20:14:38 +0000

Kale is one of the favorite greens in my home. My hubby even has a KALE UNIVERSITY tee shirt he likes to wear.

Did you know that eating greens is good for your respiratory system and helps with liver toxicity and lymphatic cleansing? That’s why kale is part of the whole food cleanses my clients enjoy. Lots of greens are a eaten!

Did you know that you can make this particular super green even healthier and more digestible? You can, and I’ll show you how.

First, gather your ingredients for super tasty, super nutritious

Kale Done Delicious

Ingredients

Kale
Grape Tomatoes or the ones you’ve grown yourself
Mushrooms
Shallots (Garlic optional)
Coconut Oil
1/4 cup water

Organic is best!

Directions

To your preference, remove the ribs from the Kale. I save mine for juicing.

Slice thinly. Kale is a tough green. The smaller you slice it, the easier it is to chew. Chewing your kale until it is liquid will help you absorb the nutrients better because your body needs your salivary juices to breakdown carbohydrates.

Slice mushroom and shallot. Optional, mince the garlic. These are the super chargers that help pack a higher nutritional punch to your greens.

Heat 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil. Healthy fats are important to a healthy brain. The amount depends on how much kale you are preparing. Think 4-5 leafs per person.

Place shallots and mushrooms in hot coconut oil and saute until tender. Veggies like shallots, onions and garlic increase the nutrients you get from your greens. I add a dash of black label Borsari seasoning.

Add 1/4 cup water.

Add kale and grape tomatoes.

Toss and cover for approximately 5 minutes.

Simple, one dish deliciousness!!!

Serve and enjoy!!!

Easy Massaged Kale Salad

This salad is not only easy, it is delicious! It’s also my most requested recipe.

A delicious way to add this nutrient dense green into your diet.

It’s as good for parties and pot lucks as it is for weekday dinner.

Kale has gotten a lot of good press lately because of it is dense in nutrients. My

hubby even wears a t-shirt that says Kale University!

Prep Time: 10 – 15 Minutes

Serves: 4 – 6 People

Ingredients:

1 Bunch Kale (I prefer Lacinato Kale, but any Kale will be delicious)
1 Fresh Lemon
3 Large Cloves Garlic
4 Scallions (more to taste)
1 Avocado
1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Into a large mixing bowl:

Wash and dry 1 bunch of kale.
Remove thick center rib (save for juicing or soup stock).
Zest and juice lemon into large bowl.
Press or mince garlic cloves and add to lemon mixture.
Add Sea Salt
Peel avacado, remove seed and mash into lemon, garlic and sea salt.
Roll leaves tightly like a cigar and with sharp knife slice as thinly as possible.
Add to bowl with dressing.
Thinly slice scallions and place in bowl with kale and dressing.
With clean hands, massage dressing into kale until kale is completely coated.

Optional:

Add 1/2 TBSP Gomasio
Slice an additional Avocado for garnish

My Notes….

This salad is not only super easy, dense in nutrition and highly transportable. It is also a huge hit!

The first time I made this I took it to a ‘Girl’s Night’ party and didn’t have any to bring home.

Can serve up to 8.
You can easily double this recipe.
Add more garlic, lemon or avocado depending on your taste.
It will last in your refrigerator up to 5 days.
Prepare this recipe at least 1 hour to serving. The longer it marinates the better it tastes.
The thinner you slice the kale leaves the better marinates and digests.
