Instructions
 

  • In a small pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and when they start to sputter, add the asafetida, green chili and turmeric powder. As soon as they sizzle and are fragrant, remove from heat. Let it cool a bit.

  • Take the washed, dried Kale leaves. Remove the stems and the center tough vein . Chop the leaves into bite size pieces. Add in a bowl.
  • Add the cooled tempering( fodni/ jhauka)and massage the kale leaves for two minutes. You will notice that the tough leaves soften and absorb the flavor of the oil. Now, remove the chili if wanted.
  • Make the dressing- Simply combine all ingredients for the dressing and blend until smooth and creamy with a whisk. It makes about ½ cup dressing. If the pineapple is not sweet and tangy, you may need to add some sugar and lime juice.
  • To the massaged greens, add the reserved pineapple pieces, diced apple, blackberries. Pour some of the dressing, toss well
