Kaleslaw

“It is spring again.  The Earth is like a child that knows poems.” Rainer Maria Rilke

This recipe comes from one of Canada’s most popular cookbook authors, Greta Podleski, from her cookbook, “Yum & Yummer: Ridiculously tasty recipes that’ll blow your mind but not your diet!”.  The salad has a cult following and it is easy to see why:  it has color, crunch, mega nutrutious creds, great fiber and tons of texture in a super flavorful apple cider vinaigrette with maple and mustard.  It is gluten free, vegan, raw and vegetarian to satisfy today’s dietary needs.  I was treated to the salad at a recent dinner at my niece Vanessa’s, a gifted cook.  In a delicious meal, it was this salad that we were all swooning over!  It has become her go-to potluck dish.  The massaging of the kale with your fingers might seem weird but Podleski insists it is a necessary step to tenderize the kale.  Use organic kale if you can find it.
