Kale Medley (Power Green) Salad with Sesame Garlic Dressing





Sorry that it took so long to post this recipe on my blog since I said I'd share it to a mom at my son's school potluck dinner who enjoyed my salad. It's an amazing tasting, colorful salad. This has became one of my favorite salads too :)
I found it from another food blog and changed some of the ingredients.
It is a refreshing spring salad!



For the dressing:

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
3 cloves of garlic, pressed or minced
3 tablespoons liquid Braggs Aminos (or soy sauce)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons agave nectar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon lemongrass paste or fresh grated ginger
1 lime juice

For the salad:













16 ounce frozen shelled edamame
6-7 Cups power green kale medley
3 medium carrots
2 bell peppers 1 red and 1 yellow
3 green onions
1 cup cilantro

Directions:

1. In a pint jar, put together all the dressing ingredients and shake well. 
Set a side.

2. Cook the edamame with boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain in the colander and rinse with cold water.
3. Shred or thin strip carrots, bell peppers. Thin slice green onion, cilantro.

4. Minced cooked edamame using food process or chopper and cashews the same way until minced texture.
