Curly Kale Salad with Sesame-Soy Dressing
Use regular curly kale here for its light, springy texture. Nutritional yeast, that '60s health-food throwback, adds umami complexity, but if you prefer, you can omit it and up the other seasonings.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Toast sesame seeds in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring often, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape into a small bowl.
Step 2
2
Whisk garlic, 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast, the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add kale and red onion and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, toss again, and serve. Add more yeast if you like.
