Perfect Kale Salad

Author Notes

This Kale Salad is one of my all time favourite salads. It's packed full of deliciously healthy ingredients; creamy cubes of avocado, caramelised sweet potato wedges, pomegranate seeds, maple roasted walnuts and an amazing tahini-tamari dressing. Raw crunchy kale, hardly seems very appetising, but with a little bit of magic it really becomes delicious. The key to a good kale salad is a thick, creamy, tantalising dressing and a massage (not for you, for the kale!). However bizarre massaging your kale may sound, it let's the dressing ooze into the leaves and wilts the kale making it soft and easy to eat! Kale is a nutritional powerhouse and the King of greens. It’s an amazing source of iron, having calorie for calorie more iron than beef! It’s an amazing source of immune boosting antioxidants and a powerful anti-inflammatory, which both protect the body against free radicals and disease. Kale also contains a wealth of calcium, calorie for calorie even more than milk! This helps maintain strong and health bones and prevents against bone weakness and osteoporosis. Kale is a great source of fibre making it a perfect detox food. This recipe takes no time to make, is really simple and so delicious! It makes the perfect light meal or side. —Saskia Gregson-Williams
