kb0426 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I just enjoyed an incredible kale salad! The base of the salad was lacinto (dinosaur) kale, apples, grapefruit, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), and I added avocado and raisins to the party. Now, here is a disclaimer...the recipe I found online had a dressing that was not compliant, as it contains maple syrup. Since this is a whole30 forum, meant to share compliant recipes, if you want the original recipe link, please PM me. In the meantime, you could ABSOLUTELY combine these ingredients, and just use olive oil, orange juice and some apple cider vinegar for the dressing. Just make sure you massage the dressing into your kale. You know, massage it like you have known each other a long time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddesslynne Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Nom nom!! Might have to re-think my "no kale" vow!! Do you think it would be ok to remove and discard those fibrous ribs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb0426 Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Oh yes! That is the only way to go with kale. Remove the center rib, then rip the rest. I rip first, wash second, then dry, then bring on the kale massage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethany Taylor Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Okay I'm new to eating Kale in a salad (I've always cooked, sauted, or juiced it) Do you massage kale just by rubbing it with the dressing??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callan Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Ah, lacinato kale is the best. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can massage it while you clean off any dirt, then dry it, then massage in any dressing/oils that you want to use. Massage it and make it feel loved . It will return the favor back!

jtota Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Can you share the ratios for the dressing? I am NOT good at making dressings and need all the help I can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb0426 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 When making a vinaigrette, use 1 part vinegar to 3 parts oil. Use that as a base and then go crazy from there! Someone on here once said if it smells good together, it will probably taste good together! The dressing that came with this recipe is not whole30 compliant, but you could use the above ratios, and then add orange zest - about a tablespoonful, and some salt and pepper. You could also use some of the orange juice if you don't get enough of a hit from the zest. Google "paleo salad dressings" and you will have a whole boatload of suggestions!
