Massage the dinosaur Kale for the best tasting quinoa, cranberries and toasted almond salad. Hands down my favorite Kale recipe inspired by THE SMITH restaurant in New York City.
INGREDIENTS
1 bunch dinosaur Kale
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/4 cup toasted almonds
2 tablespoons cranberries
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
1 small shallot
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
PREPARATION
Step 1
Make the dressing by combining olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and chopped garlic and shallots. Keep the dressing aside for 8-10 minutes to marinate.
Step 2
Remove the rib from the kale and thinly slice them as seen in the picture. Pour the salad dressing on top of the kale and massage for 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add quinoa to the kale and continue to massage for another 2 minutes. Let all the dressing soak into the kale and quinoa.
Step 4
Add the cranberries, toasted almonds and grated Parmesan to the salad.
