Kale may have already “peaked” as a trend, but I will always love it and keep thinking of new ways to make everyone else love it too.
This salad is full of my favorite “super foods” – kale, almonds, and edamame – making it a light, but satisfying lunch option.
Super kale salad
You’ll need:
-4 cups chopped kale
-Juice of 1/2 lemon
-Olive oil
-1/4 cup slivered almonds
-1/4 cup shelled, cooked edamame
– secret not-so-superfood ingredient! 1/2 t Goya salad seasoning
1. Steam the edamame – wash the pods and put them in a steamer or bamboo basket over a pot of salted water. Cook until tender but still bright green. Chill.
2. In a large bowl, massage the kale with lemon juice and olive oil. Do it for about 3-4 minutes, you will see that the kale will soften and wilt slightly, absorbing the flavors.
3. When you’re ready to serve the salad, combine kale, shelled edamame, and almonds and mix well. Sprinkle with Goya seasoning or sea salt.
We love kale. Looks tasty.
Thanks guys!
Great looking kale salad.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kale is such a popular green right now, and I enjoy all the ways it can be dressed and served. I think the addition of edamame is a great way to add some protein! This sounds so good to me! 🙂
I’m so glad that more people are discovering kale due to its popularity and that it’s become a lot more accessible 🙂
Never prepare kale this way, don’ you think that i can do this on chard???
I think chard is a little tougher, but give it a go!
Interesting technique to massage the kale with the oil and lemon juice. I have seen it done with salt and oil but not the juice. I ust try that… great post 🙂
Thank you! Enjoy:)
