Spicy Kale Salad
By Tiffy Cooks
This Soy Gochugaru Spicy Kale Salad is an easy go-to for any meal, any occasion. It's a salad I add as a quick dish to lunch, or as a base to a potluck salad. It's spicy, savory, and super healthy! I specifically also love to make this when I host or make Korean BBQ because it tastes great together! This salad recipe should only take 5 min to make, and only a few ingredients!
Ingredients
- 5 cups kale ~8 oz, chopped & stems removed
- 3 scallions medium, thinly sliced
Dressing
- 1 tbsp Korean red chili flakes
- 1 ½ tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 ½ tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 ½ tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 ½ tbsp Sweetener of Your Choice honey, sugar, or plum extract
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds grounded
- ¼ cup panko optional
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together for the dressing.
- In a bowl, add in chopped kale and thinly sliced scallions.
- Add in half of the dressing first and massage well. Let it sit for 20 minutes.
- Pour in the rest of the dressing and mix well
- Optional: toast panko for 2-3 min on medium heat until browned and add on top for crunch.
Notes
If you're in a rush, you can skip the massage step, and add in all the dressings.
Adjust saltiness to your liking by the amount of Soy sauce, and adjust the spice level by the amount of korean red chili.
