Curly Kale Salad with Sesame-Soy Dressing





Yields
Serves 4 (serving size: 1 1/2 cups)



Total Time
30 mins

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.

 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
 1 large garlic clove, minced
  About 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast*
 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
 1 teaspoon sugar
 4 teaspoons rice vinegar
 4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
 12 ounces curly kale, stems removed and leaves cut into slender ribbons
 1/2 cup red onion cut into paper-thin slivers, rinsed and drained
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.
