Kale & Apple Salad with Chickpea Miso Dressing

Have you massaged kale before? This is a great recipe using massaged kale with an umami chickpea miso dressing and creamy almond nut butter. This green salad is perfect for a light lunch or as a side salad. 

Ingredients

• 1 bunch fresh Kale - around 150g
• ¼ fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Clearspring Organic Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ½ pack Clearspring Organic Quinoa Trio
• ½ apple - sliced

• 1 tbsp Clearspring Organic Japanese Chickpea Miso
• 1 tbsp Clearspring Organic Almond Butter
• 1 tsp Clearspring Organic Syrup - we used Date Syrup
• 1 tbsp Clearspring Organic Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ½ tbsp Clearspring Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 -2 tbsp Water

Method

1. Wash and separate the kale from the stalk. Place the leafy part in a bowl, drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil and massage the kale to soften the leaves.
2. Wash and slice the apple in half and discard the core. Use a mandolin and slice the apple straight into the bowl.
3. To make the dressing, add all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Add water to loosen the dressing. Drizzle the dressing into the salad bowl.  
4. Add the quinoa trio and mix until it's combined. Serve as a starter or as a light main.
