(Adapted from Russell James)
Salad:
1 head of dino (black) kale
¼ tsp sea salt
½ cup cherry tomatoes
¼ raw sunflower (or hemp) seeds
A few grinds of black pepper
Dressing:
1 small avocado or ½ a medium avocado
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ onion powder
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp cumin
½ Tbsp Bragg’s Aminos (or tamari, or low-sodium soy sauce)
½ Tbsp balsamic vinegar
½ Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp tahini
1-2 tsp coconut nectar (or raw agave, or raw honey)
Last night I developed a craving for raw kale salad, but I wanted something different and more interesting than the typical tahini-lemon-soy dressing that I usually default to. I took raw chef Russell James’ recipe as inspiration and changed up the dressing.
First, wash the kale. De-stem it, and chop into smaller strips. Place in a bowl, and add the sea salt. Massage kale thoroughly until it wilts, and looks tender. Add in tomatoes and seeds.
Place all dressing ingredients into a blender (or use a whisk), and mix well.
Spoon dressing into salad, grinds in pepper, and mix everything together thoroughly. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes or so before eating.

Maybe it’s the half-Greek in me, but there’s nothing that makes me giddier then the sight of a table full of food (well, other than actually eating the food). Trouble is most of what we stack onto our plates isn’t just weighing on our hips, hearts and cells, it’s also bloating the planet with packaging, pesticides and climate-changing gases. How can you get your fill without, er, tipping the ecological scales?
