This recipe for a flavourful and colourful salad was devised by Aarti Sequeira for the Food Network.
And although I am not a fan of over-handling food, the massaging of the kale in this dish really improves its look and texture.
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch kale, stalks removed and leaves chopped
- 1 lemon , juiced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil\kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons honey
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 mango diced (about a cup)
- small handful of toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
Methods:
Place the chopped kale in a large serving bowl. Add half the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt. Massage the kale until it starts to soften and wilt.
Gently toast the pepitas in a dry skillet on the stove.
In a small bowl , whisk the remaining lemon juice with the honey, and lots of freshly ground pepper. Whisk in the 1/4 cup of olive oil to form the dressing. Pour the dressing over the kale and stir in the mango and pepitas.
