Ingredients

▢ 1 tsp Coconut Oil or tempering for the tempering
▢ 1/2 tsp Black Mustard Seeds
▢ 1/8 tsp asafoetida powder
▢ 1/2 Green Chillies slit in the middle (or to taste)
▢ 1/8 tsp Turmeric Powder
▢ 4 cup For The Salad- 4 Cups Washed And Dried Kale Leafy Greens tough stems removed and chopped in bite size pieces for the salad washed and dried kale leafy greens
▢ 1/2 Pineapple skin removed, cored and chopped into chunks. fresh ripe
▢ 1 Apple cored and diced red delicious
▢ 8 Blackberries or strawberries blackberries
▢ cup Pineapple reserve the rest of the pieces to toss in the salad, or dressing for the dressing â¾
▢ 1/8 cup Thick Coconut Milk
▢ 1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
▢ to Himalayan Pink Salt taste
▢ 2 tbsp Pumpkin Seeds or topping topping roasted

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
▢
Serve topped with the roasted pumpkin seeds. Serve the extra dressing on the side! I served the salad in the half pineapple shell

Recipe Notes

Removing the tough stem and center vein of the kale is easy- Fold the leaf in half along the central vein and pull away.

Massaging the kale for 2 minutes make sthe kale soft and delicious!
