The Ultimate Kale Salad · i am a food blog

I live on this kale salad.

It’s so pretty and festive and it makes me feel in the fall. He has all the textures and flavors and is full of healthy things! This is the perfect side for Thanksgiving or any special fall / winter meal. Heck, I eat it like a meal in itself all the time.

Why this kale salad is the best

I love the way you can do this salad in advance, with a vinaigrette, and it’s getting better and better. The kale and grated Brussels cabbage remain generous and hold the vinaigrette and nothing goes bankrupt or becomes soft and sad. The apples add a little sweetness and crunchy, the cucumbers add a crunchy fresh freshness, the carrots add color and the almonds in slices are the hazelnut kiss on the top. Even better, it is when you add chicken breasts and roasted squash. Seriously, so good!

The vinaigrette

The vinaigrette is a really simple but addictive mixture of Japanese rice vinegar, soy, mirin, a touch of sugar and grilled sesame oil. It is light and tangy and full of Umami. It allows salad ingredients to shine while bringing the flavor.

What a kind of curly cabbage for the salad

My favorite type cabbage type for the curly cabbage salad is Tuscan curl, also known as dinosaur or curly cabbage. It’s flat and deep dark green. It is thinner and more tender than the classic curly cabbage that you see and it has an incredible taste. You can also use curly cabbage for this salad, but dinosaur cabbage is my chouch of choices.

How to prepare the curly cabbage

1. Wash Curly and dry cabbage.
2. To use A torque knife to cut the central rods or simply tear the stem leaves. The stems are difficult – you can throw them away.
3. To roll The leaves in a tight roller and finely contrast, in ribbons.
4. Your The curly cabbage is ready for the salad!

How to shave Brussels cabbage for salad

I love Brussels germs in the salad – they are just like tiny cabbage. To shred the germs, easily, wash, cut the ends, cut in half, place the cut side on the cutting board and finely slicer to the cross sage to create razed germs.

How to do cabbage salad

1. Vinaigrette in a bowl or a liquid measurement cup. Sometimes I like to use My milk friction to really emulsify the vinaigrette.
2. Mix all ingredients In a large bowl, but save apples, cucumber, carrots and almonds for the garnish.
3. Dress the salad According to Taste – You might not need the whole vinaigrette. I tend to dress my salads on the lighter side, I generally make a half-portion of vinaigrette. This salad is all about you, so dress accordingly!
4. Finish By garnishing the top of the salad with the reserved garnishes and enjoy it!

I often tear that Chicken salad And roasted squash. I like to remove my air fryer and use it for both.
