Crunchy Sesame Kale Salad [21 Day Fix]
- Author: Annie Chesson
- Prep Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 20 mins
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 cup carrots (1 green)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (1 orange)
- For the sesame dressing:
- 4 teaspoons sesame oil
- 4 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon honey
- Pull the kale off of its fibrous stems and pile on your cutting board. Massage the kale for 5 minutes (it is a similar motion to kneading bread – it will tenderize the kale and mellow out the flavor)
- Chop the massaged kale into bite size pieces
- If you washed your kale, make sure you pat it dry so the dressing will coat the leaves properly (probably easier to do this before the massaging/chopping process)
- Add the kale, carrots, and sesame seeds to a salad bowl
- For the dressing:
- Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl – season to taste with salt and pepper
- Dress the salad to taste (I used all the dressing)
- Season to taste with salt
