    Colorful Kale Salad with Orange Ginger Dressing

    5
    By Alisa Fleming on January 13, 2017 Dairy-Free Recipes, Salad

    This kale salad recipe was originally shared with us back in 2007 by Vesanto Melina, a registered dietitian and author of several great books, including Becoming Vegan, Cooking Vegan, and The Food Allergy Survival Guide. She said that it originated from a Vancouver spot called Radha Yoga and Eatery, which unfortunately is no longer around. Leah decided to give it a try, and as usual, she took some beautiful photographs!

    Leah thought this kale salad was phenomenal with no changes needed. In fact, she said, “I loved how colourful and vibrant it was. It was full of so much flavour and easy to whip up to have in the fridge for the rest of the week.”

    Special Diet Notes: Kale Salad with Orange Ginger Dressing

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, optionally gluten-free, nut-free, peanut-free, vegan, plant-based, and vegetarian. Be sure to use wheat-free tamari, if you need strictly gluten-free.

    For a soy-free kale salad, use a chickpea or barley miso and swap coconut aminos for the tamari.

      I adore tahini so I bet this would be a fabulous dressing. I used to think I hated kale, but after a few massage it recipes, I get it!
