Ingredients
- For the Walnut "Meat"
- 1 cup Diamond of California® Shelled Walnuts
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1-2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- For the Salad
- 3-4 cups kale, massaged with stems removed
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup black beans, cooked
- 1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 avocado, diced
- spoonful of mild/medium salsa to use as dressing
- optional: yogurt or sour cream for topping
The Steps
- Place kale in a large bowl, then drizzle it with 2 tbsp olive oil. Using your hands, gently massage the kale for 30 seconds, which will help break down the bitterness of the kale; set aside.
- Add walnuts and spices to your food processor and pulse for 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a large skillet and heat for 3-5 minutes or until walnuts are warmed to your liking. The mixture should resemble ground beef.
- Pour cooked beans and walnut meat over the kale, then add the tomatoes, cheese, avocado, salsa, and yogurt/sour cream.
- Enjoy!
