Kale and Roast Macadamia Nut Salad

Something about the warmer weather makes you want to get outside and eat healthy food like this! It has delicious kale and baby sweet capsicums that my husband bought at the local markets, and of course macadamia nuts, roasted for robust flavour.



Healthy food that tastes great!

1 tablespoon macadamia nuts

1 tablespoon walnuts

4 kale leaves

1 carrot, grated

3 small capsicums, one each of red, yellow and orange, deseeded and chopped finely

Salad dressing of your choice or make this one: 2 tablespoons macadamia oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon macadamia honey (shake together in a jar)

1 teaspoon roasted black sesame seeds (available at Asian food shops)

1 teaspoon roasted white sesame seeds (available at Asian food shops)

1.       Dry roast the nuts in a non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat by stirring for a few minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

2.       Slice the kale thinly as though you would shred cabbage for a coleslaw. Toss the kale and carrot together in the dressing and place in serving bowl. Top with the capsicum, nuts and pour over a little more dressing. Sprinkle the black and white sesame seeds over the salad. Serves 2
