I'm not even sure this should qualify as a recipe, but this was new to me so I thought I'd share. Macerating fruit isn't ground breaking (ie: combining a little sugar with strawberries to bring out the juices), but did you know you can macerate vegetables too? Substitute lemon juice and a little salt for the sugar, and you're set. I decided to try it with this kale salad, and it was delicious - the raw (and what I think of as healthy) flavor of kale was perfectly complemented with the zing of a lemon and some salt. Give it a try next time you're looking for an easy, quick way to serve up some vegetables.
Raw Kale Salad
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch kale
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp. salt
Directions:
- Wash and dry kale. Remove kale leaves from stalk.
- Combine lemon juice and salt in a serving bowl. Add kale.
- Gently "massage" kale, coating the leaves with the lemon juice mixture. Massage for 1-2 minutes, then let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
