Arugula Avocado Berry Cali-style Kale No-cook Salad Seed Walnut
Arugula Avocado Berry Cali-style Kale No-cook Salad Seed Walnut

This delivers on so many levels: the heartiness of kale, the goodness of hemp seeds, the bitter pop of arugula, and the juicy surprise of blueberries. The choice between using walnut or avocado here is up to you - or could go rogue and use both. This feel-good salad is inspired by the Antioxidant Salad at Erewhon Market of Los Angeles.

    Salad
  • 1/4 bunch of kale (Note 1)
  • 2 1/2 ounces arugula (Note 2)
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 66666667/100000000 cup walnuts and/or diced avocado
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds Herb Vinaigrette
  • 1/2 cup olive oil or grapeseed oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Step 1: Remove the thick, fibrous stems from the kale. Chop the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Step 2: If using the walnut option, toast the nuts in a dry frying pan over medium heat until the nuts are fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes. Shake or stir the pan often and keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Once toasted, remove the nuts immediately from the heat and transfer to a plate to stop the cooking process.
  3. Step 3: Stir together all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl until smooth. You can also emulsify the ingredients together with a stick blender.
  4. Step 4: Place the kale in a large bowl. Pour in a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette and massage the dressing into the leaves with your hand. As you massage, the leaves will soften and lose volume. Continue massaging for about 15 seconds. Note: Even if you are making this salad for a meal prep, do not skip this step of massaging.
  5. Serve: Add all remaining salad ingredients to the bowl. Pour in more vinaigrette, to taste, and toss well to combine. Enjoy. Any leftover vinaigrette will last up to 1 week refrigerated.
Recipe Notes

Note 1: Every 1/4 bunch of kale should equal about 3 handfuls.

Note 2: Every 2.5 ounces of arugula should equal about 5 handfuls.
