Kale Salad with Chimichurri and Hummus
  • Serves 1
Author Notes

A raw kale salad with a ka-pow chimichurri dressing and a creamy floor of lemony hummus. I used fresh oregano that I've managed to keep alive on my windowsill all this brutal winter but you could sub dry or another fresh herb. Substantial and satisfying especially with a hunk of bread to clean up the plate. —Laurie

I was so excited when I saw this recipe! And even more excited when my husband who is a red meat eater agreed to eat it. I always add hummus to my salads at Whole Foods so I knew it'd probably be good. I made this as a side dish as a compromise with grilled chicken and honestly? We will be making a version of this every week. Thank you!
