Raw Kale Greens Recipe
Written by Lovelyn on January 3, 2008 – 10:51 pm -
I don’t eat raw food all the time but I think it’s a good idea to incorporate raw foods into my diet. I try out new recipes all the time. This is one that I’ve been making recently that’s really good.
This is a raw greens recipe I got from another blog. I’ve modified it to my taste. I use kale greens instead of collards. You can check out the originally recipe here. It has a little too much salt for my liking. This is my version:
[ad#Adsense-1]
Ingredients
- one bunch of kale
- 1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 clove of garlic finely chopped
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup green onion thinly sliced (white parts only)
- 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
Wash the kale thoroughly and chop into small pieces. Put into large bowl and add the olive oil and sea salt. Mix well. I use my hands to toss the greens and squeeze them a little bit as I do to make sure the salt really gets into them to help wilt them a bit.
In a separate bowl mix the red pepper, black pepper, vinegar, garlic, green onions and sun-dried tomatoes. Then dump you kale into the bowl with the marinade. Mix thoroughly making sure all of the kale is coating. Refrigerate over night.
I took this to Christmas dinner at my parents house and everybody loved. At least they said they loved it. Who knows what said behind my back.

I tried this recipe last night and I absolutely love it! My husband is a picky eater and even he had to admit it was good. I really liked the kale. We love spicy food so I went a little heavy on the crushed red pepper. Thanks so much.

@Shawn,
I’m glad you liked it. It’s one of my family’s favorites.

I was at that Family Chrismas dinner, and I have been wanting this recipe ever since.
I’m going out to buy the “fixins” right now.
Spread the word about this site.
Thank you Lovelyn,

This is also good semi-cooked when you don’t have time to marinate overnight. Pop the mixture into the microwave for 30 seconds or so to wilt the kale.
