Ingredients

  • 1 small bunch kale, de-stemmed and shredded (or 1- 5 ounce package of baby kale)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tangerines, peeled and segmented
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds or pepitas
  • coarse salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Tangerine Vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed tangerine juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • coarse salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the shredded kale plus 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large bowl. Massage (or knead) with your hands until the kale develops a vibrant green color and feels softer, about 3-5 minutes. This step is not required for the baby kale.
  • Add the vinaigrette ingredients to a jar. Shake until combined. Set aside.
  • Toss the massaged or baby kale with the tangerine vinaigrette and top with tangerine segments and pumpkin seeds and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Pair with crispy or roasted tofu, broiled salmon, or grilled chicken for a complete meal.
