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.

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