Kale Salad

1 bunch of curly or lacinato kale, chopped or torn into bit size pieces

1 medium sized red onion diced (sometimes i like to slice it in slivers too just for the aesthetic)

1/4 cup of sesame seeds, or sunflower seeds or a mixture of both (I prefer to buy them raw and toast them in a cast iron skillet fresh before use)

juice of 1 very large lemon or a couple smaller ones

several tablespoons of olive oil

Braggs Liquid Amino Acids (or soy sauce) to taste

a little sesame oil is also a nice addition.

 

This recipe is so simple and flexible.  I chop up the kale & onions and put them in a bowl, pour in the olive oil & lemon juice... and then toss it together.  Sometimes (after careful handwashing) I used my hands to sort of massage the oil & lemon juice into the kale.  Then... sprinkle on Braggs and toss in the toasted sesame/sunflower seeds, taste, and voila!  The acids sort of cook/pickle the onions and kale and it tastes better after it sits for a couple hours- makes great leftovers for lunch the next day.
