Ingredients
 
 

Kale Orange Salad

  • 2 to 3 cups chopped kale enough to fill your plate
  • 1 navel orange removed from skin and cut into segements
  • ¼ cup vegan feta
  • cup pistachios
  • 10 tablespoons pomegranate arils
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Salad Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons grade-A maple syrup
  • ¼ cup juice, fresh from an orange ½ orange
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Massage the kale with your hands for about 3 to 5 minutes. It will look much darker and shrink in size. This helps to break down the kale and make it much more enjoyable to eat.
  • Slice the orange in half. Then, cut the half into wedges. You want 8-10 pieces total. If there is any white or pith cut that off to remove it. Carefully, take a knife and cut between the pith and the flesh to remove an orange segment. Repeat until all pieces are done.
  • Prepare the dressing by adding all the ingredients into a small blender. Blend until creamy and smooth. If you need some extra liquid add in a few teaspoons of water. Taste and add in salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Then, add a ¼ teaspoon of salt and pepper to the kale. Along with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the dressing.
  • Pour the rest of the dressing into a small bowl. Place on the center of a plate.
  • Then, start to build the salad wreath. First, put down all the kale around in a circle. Then, add the orange segments in a circle. Finally, sprinkle the vegan feta, pistachios, and pomegranate seeds all around.
  • When ready to serve you can either leave the dressing in the middle or remove it. Pour the dressing over top of the salad, and enjoy.
