“Cook me, freeze me, reheat me and I will be as delicious as if you had just cooked me. I never, ever get soggy!”
Serves: Approximately 2-3
Prep time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Salad:
- 2 cups of kale finely chopped
- ¼ cup yellow pepper chopped
- ¼ cup red pepper chopped
- ¼ sweet onion thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 cup cooked whole grain WONDERGRAIN sorghum
For the Salad Dressing:
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, to taste
- 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil finely chopped
- If too acidic, add more honey
Directions:
- Cut kale lengthwise and remove the stems. Roll up several leaves like a cigar for easy chopping.
- Chop peppers (small dice).
- Mix all the ingredients for the salad.
- Add desired amount of dressing – Be generous!
- This salad is as good the following day. The Kale will not wilt and Wondergrain will not be soggy.
TIPS:
- May marinate kale for 2 hours with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 lime, salt and pepper to soften the leaf and take out the bitterness. You can do the same for the onion if prepping ahead of time.
- If storing salad in refrigerator, let stand 20 minutes at room temperature prior to service.
- If using refrigerated or frozen precooked grain, it must be warmed up in the microwave or the stovetop to loosen it up. Let cool down and prepare salad.
- To reheat on the stovetop and loosen up the grain, moisten with liquid – do not drench.
- To reheat in the microwave and loosen up the grain, cover with a wet paper towel.
