Ingredients
- 6 cups kale
- 1 large orange
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove the kale leaves from the stems and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Zest the orange and set the zest aside. Cut the orange in half and juice it, yielding approximately 1/4 cup of fresh juice.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Step 4
Finely mince the garlic clove and stir it into the dressing mixture.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the chopped kale. Use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale for 2-3 minutes until the leaves are tender and bright green.
Step 6
Sprinkle the reserved orange zest, sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper over the kale and toss gently to combine.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a fresh salad, or let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy!
