Kale Salad with Almond Butter Dressing

Recipe prepared and photographed by NutraMilk nutritionist, Florencia Tagliavini.

INGREDIENTS

For almond butter

• 2 cups (300g) almonds
• 1/8 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt (optional)

For dressing

• ½ cup almond butter made with the NutraMilk
• 1 ½-inch piece ginger, peeled, coarsely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

For kale salad

• 4 to 5 medium radishes
• 8 ounces kale (any type or a combination)

• **I used just these 2 ingredients as it was what I had on hand but you can add dried cranberries, apples or strawberries, goat cheese, etc.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Making almond butter
  • Place almond and salt in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 12-13 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid.
  • If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a creamier butter.

• Take out almond butter from the NutraMilk except for approximately ½ cup.
• Add rest of the ingredients to the NutraMilk and press mix for one minute until all ingredients are combined and smooth. Add water if you prefer a more liquid consistency.
• Prep the kale: after washing kale, remove the stem/ribs from every kale leaf. Chop kale into bite size pieces. Massage kale for about 30 seconds with your fingers to tenderize.
• Add any other ingredients and dressing. Toss salad and serve.
