Garlicky Kale From Whole Foods Recipes

"WHOLE FOODS" GARLICKY KALE [RECIPE]

Steps:

• Place the chopped kale in a large bowl.
• Place all the other ingredients in a blender and blend until you achieve the desired consistency for your dressing - you may need to add a little water.
• Pour the dressing over the kale and toss with salad servers. You could also place a lid over the bowl and shake until the kale is thoroughly coated.
• Place the bowl in the fridge for an hour or so to marinate. This will help the kale to wilt and also make it more palatable.

EASY GARLIC KALE

Steps:

• Soak kale leaves in a large bowl of water until dirt and sand begin to fall to the bottom, about 2 minutes. Lift kale from the bowl without drying the leaves and immediately remove and discard stems. Chop the kale leaves into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add kale to the skillet and place a cover over the top.
• Cook, stirring occasionally with tongs, until kale is bright green and slightly tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

GARLICKY KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Break or cut kale into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl.
• Puree all ingredients except kale in a blender or food processor to blend the dressing.
• Pour dressing over kale and massage into the kale with your hands until all pieces of kale are coated.
• Let the salad sit in the fridge for an hour or so to marinate. You can skip this step if you need to eat right away, but allowing some time to marinate will wilt the kale a bit and make it a little more palatable - particularly for those who are skeptical of eating raw kale.

GARLICKY KALE RECIPE FROM WHOLE FOODS

Steps:

• Put all ingredients (except for kale) into a blender, adding nutritional yeast last. (Adding it first causes it to gum up the blades and stick to the base.)
• Mix until smooth.
• Transfer kale to a salad bowl, then pour dressing over the top and toss until coated.
• Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

GARLICKY KALE FROM WHOLE FOODS

Steps:

• Break or cut kale into bite size pieces and place in a large bowl. Puree all ingredients except kale and sesame seeds in a blender or food processor to blend the dressing. Pour dressing over kale and massage into the kale with your hands until all pieces of kale are coated. Let the salad sit in the fridge for an hour or so to marinate. You can skip this step if you need to eat right away, but allowing some time to marinate will wilt the kale a bit and make it a little more palatable - particularly for those who are skeptical of eating raw kale. Sprinkle on some sesame seeds before serving if so desired.

LEMON-GARLIC KALE SALAD

Steps:

• In a toaster oven or skillet, toast almonds until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, combine lemon juice and 1 heaping teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add garlic cloves and set aside to steep.
• Working in batches, cut the kale into thin ribbons: gather a large handful of leaves, bunch together tightly, and use the other hand to slice into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. This need not be done very precisely or neatly; the idea is to end up with a kind of slaw. (Recipe can be made up to this point 1 day ahead. Keep kale and dressing refrigerated separately.)
• Place chopped kale in a very large bowl. Sprinkle surface with almonds and then with cheese, if using. Remove and discard garlic cloves from dressing. Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss. Taste for dressing and salt and add more as needed, tossing to coat thoroughly. Serve within 1 hour.
