Kale salad with I.T.I dressing


I.T.I = Italian Thousand Island dressing. 
I made this amazing and healthy salad with mix of Italian salad dressing and Thousand Island dressing. Turn out so yummy and refreshing. The key to this kale salad is that you must keep covered in the refrigerator  for an overnight. Kale will turn soft and tasty.

Simple ingredients:

  • Italian salad dressing
  • Thousand Island salad dressing
  • Honey 
  • Kale leaves, cut or break into bite sizes


Easy to make:

  1. In a large bowl, mix equal amount of Italian and Thousand Island dressing, drizzle some honey and mix till blend. If you like it more sweet, add more honey; if you like it little more sour taste, add more Italian dressing.
  2. Stir in kale leaves and make sure all leaves covered with dressing. Keep covered for an overnight. 
  3. Sprinkle some raisins, cranberries, or nuts as you prefer.

家常美食网小窍门:

1、白菜取白菜叶,最好用手撕,容易入味;
2.现将醋放入麻酱中,将芝麻酱搅拌开;
3.三者之间的用量可以根据个人口味调整,喜欢吃香的就多放一点芝麻酱,喜欢吃酸甜口味的可以多放醋和蜂蜜,醋要用老陈醋。
I tried with lettuce (too much water) and head cabbage (too dry), the best is to use Napa cabbage (Chinese cabbage). If add more vinegar and honey to make the paste lighter texture, you can use it as a salad dressing too.
