If you look up the health benefits of kale you'll quickly realize that it's loaded with nutrients and is arguably the healthiest vegetable around. Kale is a great source of antioxidants, fibre, vitamins and has cholesterol and cancer fighting properties.
I try to have Kale once a week and love it best when tossed with my no fuss Caesar salad dressing. The dressing is ridiculously easy to make and doesn't require any yolks. It's not a thick Caesar style dressing as it's more runny and rustic. A bowl of this salad is quite filling and will give you a welcome surge of energy to help you get through the day. You'll be satisfied and feel great after digging into this!
Ingredients:
3 anchovy fillets (pressed with a fork until it makes a paste)
1 garlic clove, grated into a paste
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup grated parmigiano reggiano cheese
1 lemon, juiced
1 bunch of Tuscan kale, stemmed and cut into large leafs or ribbons if you're feeling fancy
pinch of salt to taste
1 cup arugula
Method:
In a bowl whisk the anchovies, garlic and lemon juice. Whisk in the parmigiano reggiano and slowly add the olive oil. Add salt and pepper. In a large bowl mix the kale and dressing so that all the leafs are coated. Let this sit in the fridge for 5-10 minutes. Add the arugula and toss so arugula is also dressed.
