Emerald Kale Salad

This Asian style, Emerald Kale Salad was inspired from a little something I found at Whole foods. For the last week, we’ve been on our annual road trip down to California hunting for sunshine. In the past, it used to be difficult finding healthy fresh food on the road. Those days are thankfully over, at least in these parts -Whole foods, Trader Joes and juice bars galore, so much as changed, I love it! When we finally landed at our little Air B and B in Santa Barbara, I remade the salad, embellishing it a bit and liked it so much, I wanted to share it with you. Super easy, affordable, adaptable and flavorful. The Tuscan kale is massaged with an earthy Sesame-Ginger dressing, then tossed with scallions, nuts or seeds, edamame and avocado. It’s sprinkled with a generous helping of toasted sesame seeds and a little orange zest. Turn this into dinner by adding seared, crispy hot, cubes of tofu.

Hope you are having a happy weekend. xo
