True Food's Kale Salad Recreation

TRUE FOOD'S KALE SALAD RECREATION




  • 3-4 cups loosely packed kale, slice leaves and remove all midribs 
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon 
  • 3 table spoons olive oil 
  • 1 garlic clove, minced 
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt & pepper 
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan or asiago cheese  


1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, & pepper. I prefer to blend in a food processor or small blender or whisk until well blended. 


2. Add kale & cheese to dressing & toss evenly until all kale is covered. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving so dressing can settle. 

PLATE FINISHED PRODUCT 

 3. Put salad in a serving bowl & top with a small amount of cheese or bread crumbs. 


STORY BEHIND THE DISH
I recreated this dish from a dinner I enjoyed at True Food Kitchen in Newport Beach. It is very refreshing & tasty. 

MODIFICATIONS 
If you don't like kale, the salad dressing can be tossed with any green.

  1. This is perfection!!! Thank you for this recipe!!! I've eaten it almost everyday for two weeks, and am sharing away! It is the only salad that you can put the leftovers in the fridge and eat a day or two later. It tastes exactly the same, and is a great time saver for me! Please recreate their chicken chopped....I am nuts about that salad!
