The Best Kale Salad · i am a food blog
I could eat this curly cabbage salad all day, every day.
The curly cabbage may well be my favorite leafy green of all time. It is incredibly versatile – you can blow it up, cook it, roast, cook, salad, you call it, kale can do it.
This is my kale of curriculum: it’s garlic, full of brilliant lemon and a lot of parm. He goes with practically anything and is generous enough to eat alone. If I had to choose a single salad for the rest of my life, it would be this kale salad. I love it because it is easy to do and is incredibly well in the refrigerator. Hello the preparation of salad meals! Buy several clusters of kale, make a huge batch of salad and live the life of Chou Fréry.
How to do cabbage salad
- Prepare the leaves – Wash, undress and shred the kale.
- Vinaigrette – In a small bowl, whisk the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, chopped garlic, finely grated parm and salt and pepper.
- Dress Dress Cabinet – Add the curly cabbage and the vinaigrette to a large container with a lid. Aput the lid and shake everything until all the leaves are uniformly coated.
- Abandon – Make him rain extra cheese and eat all the kale.
Chouching salad ingredients
- kale – Dinosaur Kale is my first choice for the curly cabbage. I love how much the crisp and silky dinosaurs are and it is just the right amount of copious and earthy.
- olive oil – Opt for an extra virgin olive oil in a pleasant and grassy cold and grassy cold of which you like flavor. This one is nothing fancy, but it is one of our Go-Tos.
- lemon – We need the tangy acid of a lemon to wake up all the other flavors of this salad. I also like the addition of lemon zest for additional brightness and a little color. If you are going to zest, don’t forget to do it before your lemon juice.
- parm – The finely grated parm adds salinity and a umami with cheese and cheeky hazelnut. I love to finish with an additional parm shower because, why not!
- garlic – There is raw garlic in this vinaigrette, but the acid of lemon juice and olive oil help to mix it while still leaving it a bite. If you like Caesar salad, this garlic-citron-lemon vinaigrette will certainly give you vibrations with Caesar salad.
- Salt and freshly ground pepper – Don’t forget S&P, they sing everything.
Curly vs dino kale
You can use the curly or dino curly cabbage for this curly cabbage salad, but I prefer the curly cabbage for its ease of preparation (you can strip the stems super easily) and how pretty it is when you shred it.
Kale
This is the most common type of cabbage that you have set at the grocery store. It is a deep green with frilly edges and long and thick stems.
Lacinato aka dinosaur kale or tuscan kale
This is my favorite type of kale! Damn and dark green with thin rods and flat leaves that are bumpy and pleated.
How to prepare the curly cabbage for the curly cabbage salad
- Wash – Give a good washing to the leaves and shake any excess water.
- Band – The prison cabbage stems are super hard and fibrous. Slice them with a knife or tear the leaves by passing your fingers along the ribs.
- Massage or shredding – either tear the leaves in large pieces and massage, or use a knife to cut into thin shots.
Why massage the kale?
If you are a fan of CHOUD FRISE SALAD, you have probably heard of the juvenile cabbage salad. Maybe you think, what is devil? Does the curly cabbage take advantage of spa days when they get hot stone massages and fancy fruit water? As fun as it is to imagine the curly cabbage to go to the spa, the choussé cabbage is not as cute. Literally, the curly cabbage is a cabbage that has been massaged (or marinated) with oil or lemon.
Because the curly cabbage is a harder green, the act of using your fingers to rub it with oil (fat) and lemon (acid) helps to break it so that it becomes silky and tender, but clear. The massage breaks down hard and fibrous cellulose and also has the additional bonus to really dress the leaves so that they become very tasty and tasty.
When to massage the curly cabbage
If you make a cabbage salad with whole leaves, not finely slices like this salad, you will probably want to make a quick massage on your leaves.
Alternative massage
The easiest way to massage and dress the curly cabbage is to bring everything into a giant container with a lid. Drizzle on the vinaigrette, put the cover and shake Shake Shake. The tremors were massaged and dress the curly cabbage at the same time and you don’t have to use your hands to massage. Bonus, you can just leave the salad in the container and put it in your refrigerator, if you make the chouf -curly salad for the preparation of meals. These containers adapt perfectly to this recipe.
I saw Mike dress salad like this day and since then it was obvious, my favorite way of all time to dress the salads!
