Healthy Snack Recipes

KALE CAESAR SALAD

  • 1 bunch raw destemmed kale
  • ½ can garbanzo beans (drained, rinsed)
  • 1 ½ Tbsp tahini
  • 6 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp sherry vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp Brewers Yeast
  • 1 tsp pink salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Steps -

  1. Blend garbanzo beans, tahini, garlic, and 2 Tbsp water together in a blender until very smooth and creamy
  2. Pour mixture into a bowl and whisk in lemon juice, zest, mustard, sherry vinegar, brewers yeast, salt, pepper, and cayenne
  3. Slowly whisk in olive oil to emulsify into the dressing. Taste and adjust, if need be, with lemon, salt or pepper
  4. Tear kale into bite-sized pieces
  5. In a large bowl, mix kale and dressing to fully coat the leaves. Give it a good massage!
  6. Eat immediately, or, let the dressing sit with the greens. Kale is hearty and holds up great - we actually prefer this one on Day 2.
  7. For added texture (and flavor!) top with roasted garbanzo beans and a squeeze of lemon.
