Today at the farmer’s market a guy that I don’t think that I know directly asked me if I’d seen any bok choy at the market. I said, “No” because, I hadn’t.
The Veggie Queen’s Raw Kale Salad
Serves 2-4
This is easy to make and you’ll get a great dose of greens. Use your favorites types, put in extras to suit your taste. The only limit to what goes into this salad is your imagination. When you massage the greens, be sure to add the love.
2-3 teaspoons raw tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-2 teaspoons miso (my favorite is South River Miso – brown rice or or mellow white works well) or Bragg’s liquid amino acids
1 teaspoon agave, or more to taste
1 apple, sliced thin, julienned or gratedRemove leaves from large ribs and slice thinly. Put into a large bowl. Add the tahini, lemon juice and miso. Put your hands into the bowl and massage the greens until they are wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the agave syrup and apple. Stir well to combine. This tastes best when eaten immediately.
Note: you can also add sunflower seeds or dried fruit to this salad, or go more savory by adding crushed garlic and sliced onion and omitting the apple.
Notice how the greens shrink by about half when they are massaged with the tahini, miso and lemon juice. If you are eating this by yourself, make half a batch at once.

I truly could not have been happier with this recipe. Â I made it for a large group of friends and colleagues yesterday and they left nothing on their plates! I am eating a bit of the leftover now and it is still delicious.Â

That is great news Erin. I love this salad because it’s easy to make and highly adaptable. It blows me away that many people now eat kale salad. You have lucky colleagues.

Green Beet,
Thanks for the comment. I also love kale and think that the combo of kale, miso, lemon and tahini is incredible. I might have to make some right now.
Thanks.

I also get the most wonderful and long-lasting boost in energy when I eat a kale salad. Kale has become my new favorite green; one that is making an appearance at my dinner table almost daily. I’m always happy to have another kale recipe on hand. Thank you for sharing!
