Flourish From Farm 2 Fork
Sunshine, smiling faces, summer produce- this is the essence of the Farmer’s Market. Cultivating relationships and creating new recipes from the season’s harvest is a simple, yet profound delight for me. Today in my usual market stroll, the colors and flavors were so inspiring that I couldn’t help but make a “farm 2 fork” dinner. God is so good to provide such amazing food and the privilege to enjoy it around the table with loved ones.
I hope you get the opportunity to savor the flavors and fellowship at your own table as you flourish from farm to fork!
Massaged Kale Salad
Serves 2-4
8 cups kale, torn and de-stemmed* (about 1 medium bunch)
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons tahini (sesame seed butter)
2 teaspoons Bragg® liquid aminos
1 teaspoon organic chickpea miso
Peeled carrot “ribbons”
Pumpkin seeds (garnish, optional)
Directions:
In a large glass bowl add the kale pieces and the “dressing” ingredients.
With your hands, rub/ “massage” the dressing into the kale until it is wilted and well coated. It will take a couple minutes.
Arrange the kale salad in a serving bowl, then add pumpkin seeds on top and carrot ribbons around the perimeter of the salad.
Enjoy!
*Please keep the stems- they are great additions to bone broth or frozen and added to smoothies if you have a high powered blender.
