The kale is growing and I'm going to have to come up with some more ways to enjoy this leafy green. Until then...munch on this. You can add any kind of nut you like. I prefer toasted walnuts.
The salad can be made with any grain you have, I like the chewiness of brown rice.
Summertime Salad:
Cooked and cooled brown rice
any kind of veggies in your fridge (I used kale, bell pepper, green onion, grated carrot...possibilities are endless)
toasted walnuts or other nut
fresh parsley
Dressing:
approx: juice from 1 each: lemon, lime, orange
approx: 1/3 c. olive oil
splash or 2 or 3 of rice vinegar
salt and pepper
Chop up the veggies, add them to cooked and cooled rice. Put the dressing ingred. in a mason jar, shake it up. Add dressing to salad, stir, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours. The acid from the dressing will 'cook' the kale a bit. Add toasted nuts just before serving...
