Potato Salad

Potato Salad

Our favorite way to use new potatoes! You can use any fresh veggies or herbs. Some of our favorites to chop up are cherry tomatoes, green beans, massaged kale, chives, parsley, and dill.

You’ll need:
1 pound potatoes
salt
1 cup mustard vinaigrette
Chopped veggies of your choice (massaged kale, scallions, green beans, cherry tomatoes)
Minced herbs of your choice (parsley, dill, chives,)
freshly ground black pepper

Mustard Vinaigrette
2 Tbsp Dijon
chopped garlic or shallots
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (or any type of vinegar)
1 cup oil (olive, sunflower, or other of your choice)

Simmer or steam your potatoes whole in salted water about 10 minutes until they are tender.
While cooking, make your vinaigrette
When tender, cool the potatoes quickly in cold water to stop them from cooking.
Dice and toss with the vinaigrette and chopped veggies and herbs.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!

Miso Greens Dressing

1 Tbsp white or yellow miso
2 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar or 1 Tbsp rice vinegar and 1 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 small garlic clove, minced
pinch of cayenne
2 Tbsp dark sesame oil
2 Tbsp peanut or grapeseed oil
2 Tbsp yogurt

Combine miso and vinegar (or vinegar and lime juice) in a small bowl and whisk together. Add remaining ingredients and whisk until thoroughly combined.

The dressing will keep for a week in the refridgerator, so make a big patch you can use throughout the week.

Kale Chips

Kale Chips

1 large bunch of Kale

1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbsp sherry vinegar

1/2 tsp sea salt

 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Wash kale, let dry (or use salad spinner), and cut leaves from stems.
(The drier your kale is when you pop it in the oven, the better. Wet kale leads to soggy chips!)

Tear kale into large pieces.

Place kale in large bowl with olive oil and sherry vinegar. Toss to coat.

Spread kale in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes, rotate baking sheets, and bake another 15 minutes or until leaves are crispy.

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with salt, and serve.

Tasty also with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top or other herb combinations immediately after removing from the oven.

Shredded Kale Salad with Pecan Parmesan and Cranberries

Shredded Kale Salad with Pecan Parmesan and Cranberries

Vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free

By Angela Liddon

FOR THE SALAD & DRESSING:
  • 2 medium bunches destemmed Lacinato/dinosaur kale, finely chopped (8 cups chopped)
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (just eyeball it)
  • 1-2 handfuls dried sweetened cranberries, for garnish
FOR THE PECAN PARMESAN:
  • 1 cup pecan halves, toasted
  • 1.5 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 pinches fine grain sea salt

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 300F. Spread the pecans onto a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
  2. Remove the stems from the kale and discard (you can save for smoothies if you are hard core!). Finely chop the kale leaves (the smaller, the better!).
  3. Wash the kale and spin dry. Place dried kale into a large bowl.
  4. For the dressing: In a mini food processor, process the garlic until minced. Now add the lemon, oil, salt, and pepper and process until combined. Adjust to taste, if desired. Pour the dressing onto the kale and mix it into the kale with your hands or toss with spoons. Keep mixing for about 1 minute to ensure everything is coated perfectly.
  5. For the pecan parm: Rinse out the mini processor and pat dry. Add the pecans into the processor and process until the pecans are the size of peas or a bit larger. Now add in the nutritional yeast, oil, and salt and process again until it’s a coarse crumb. Be sure not to over-process – we still want a nice crunchy texture here, not powder.
  6. Sprinkle the pecan Parmesan all over the salad. Toss on a handful or two of dried cranberries. Wrap and place in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to soften. I tried letting this salad sit overnight in the fridge and I greatly preferred the flavour of the salad servedthe day of, so Idon’trecommend making this salad the day before and letting it sit in the fridge overnight.

Note: 1) Instead of a mini processor, you can chop/whisk the dressing and pecan “parmesan” by hand. 2) For a nut-free version, try using breadcrumbs instead of pecans.
