I love, love, love this salad. Make as much or as little as you want but you will want a lot – the combo is fantastic!
Note that these are approximate measures. It’s a salad – you can’t go wrong!
Serves 3 to 4
Kale, a huge bunch of Lacinato
Chickpeas, a heaping cup
Quinoa, about 1/2 cup
Carrots, 2 regular size, shredded
Scallions, 4 regular size, thinly sliced
English peas, 1/4 cup
Fresh corn, 1 ear, cut off the cob
Creamy Cashew White Balsamic Dressing (recipe below), about 1/2 cup
De-stem the kale and thinly slice into ribbons. It helps to stack the leaves and roll – kind of like when you chiffonade basil.
Add to a big bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss with a pair of tongs.
Add the dressing and toss really well with the tongs. Enjoy!
