Sesame Kale Salad
For more info on Kale (Hint: It's healthy)
1 pound fresh kale (chard, spinach or other greens)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (crush to a powder)
1 clove garlic minced
2 tsp honey
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
black and red pepper to taste
Seperate kale leaves from stems. chop stems and greens into small pieces. Steam the stems (I have even used just a little water in the bottom of a pot and thrown everything in if you don't have a steamer) a couple of minutes and then add the greens and steam until just tender. let it cool. Squeeze out as much water as possible. Mix the dressing ingredients together and put in fridge until you're ready to toss with dressing and serve. I have done it cold only but you could serve it warm, too.
