Meal Prep Loaded Kale Salad Food
MEAL PREP LOADED KALE SALAD
I actually love salads but I sometimes get annoyed making them. My solution is to do a big prep at the beginning of the week so I have everything ready to go to make salads for several days. Cook your veggies and/or protein, make the dressing, chop the kale and then keep it all in separate containers. When you're ready, toss a little bit of everything in a bowl with the dressing and you're good to go.

Steps:
- For the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with racks in the upper and lower positions.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a medium sheet pan. Place the chickpeas on a small sheet pan. Liberally drizzle both with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat then spread each into a flat, even layer.
- Roast the sweet potatoes on the upper rack and the chickpeas on the lower rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and shake each pan or toss the veggies. Now, roast the chickpeas on the upper rack and the sweet potatoes on the lower rack until the chickpeas are golden and crispy and the sweet potatoes are browned around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the veggies roast, make the dressing: In a 1-pint jar, combine the citrus juice, olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, both mustards and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cover and shake vigorously until the dressing is emulsified, about 30 seconds. Set aside until needed.
- Next, prep the kale: Remove the inner ribs from the kale by holding onto the bottom of each stem, pinching together the leaf and pulling up. Discard the stems and chop the leaves into 1-inch pieces.
- Transfer each ingredient to a separate container or bag and assemble salads, as needed.
- To assemble each serving: Place 2 handfuls of kale in a medium bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and massage into the kale until shiny and dark green. Next, add 1/3 cup roasted sweet potatoes, 1/4 cup each of the roasted chickpeas, chopped almonds and dried cranberries, 2 tablespoons crumbled feta and a sprinkle of scallions. Drizzle with a little more dressing then gently toss and taste for seasoning. At this point, throw in any of the optional add-ins.

- Heat a small pot over medium heat and add rinsed, drained quinoa. Toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Then add water and bring to a low boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes or until liquid is completely absorbed. Once cooked, fluff with a fork, remove lid, and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and add carrots and beets to a baking sheet. Add water (or oil) and seasonings of choice and toss to coat. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender and slightly golden brown. (This method is adapted from my oil-free vegetables recipe).
- In the meantime, prepare dressing by adding tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt to a small mixing bowl and whisking to combine. Then add water 1 Tbsp (15 ml // as recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) at a time and whisk until pourable. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity, salt for saltiness, or maple syrup for sweetness. See notes for savory version.
- Arrange kale on a serving platter or bowl and top with tomatoes, avocado, cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, and any other desired toppings, such as hemp seeds or sprouts. Serve with dressing on the side, or toss to combine.
12 FAVORITE KALE SALADS (PLUS TIPS!) - COOKIE AND KATE
From cookieandkate.com
- Remove the ribs. Regardless of which variety of kale you choose (they all make great salads), you’ll first want to remove the tough ribs from the leaves.
- Chop the kale. Then, you’ll want to chop the kale into pretty small, bite-sized pieces. Eating kale salads made with pieces of giant kale is mighty awkward.
- Sprinkle with salt. Next, transfer the kale to a serving bowl and sprinkle it lightly with sea salt (salt helps cut the bitter flavor of kale).
- Massage the kale. Yes, this step sounds ridiculous, but it makes all the difference. Reach into the bowl with (clean) hands and start grabbing handfuls of kale.
- Dress the kale. Drizzle in a bold dressing and massage that into the leaves so the kale is lightly and evenly coated with dressing (this is important!).
- Toss well. Now is the time to toss in additions like toasted nuts, grated/crumbled cheese and/or chopped raw fruits and veggies. If you have time, let the salad marinate for ten minutes before serving.
