Kale Salad
The way to make this salad is to remove the back bone of the kale leaf. The leaves are then rolled tightly into little rolls and sliced thinly. Then you squeeze and massage the kale leaves in you hands for a few minutes. Then add in a teaspoon of salt and squeeze and massage the salt with your hands throughout the kale. Then add a tablespoon of olive oil and squeeze and massage some more. Then add one orange sweet pepper chopped fine and one red sweet pepper chopped fine. Mix it all up. The dressing is a mix of quarter cup apple cider vinegar, teaspoon honey and a small clove of pressed garlic. Let the salad set in the fridge for an hour or two before serving.
Rosewater Salad Dressing
I make my own rosewater. I pack a sealer jar with rose petals and pour over them a cup or two of boiling water. When the lid pops the jar is sealed. I then put the jar away in a cool dark room for a few days. Then I strain out the rose petals and the remaining water is ready use. The water will smell of rose and be a deep pink color.
This salad dressing mix is seven tablespoons of rosewater, one good tablespoon of honey and the juice of a fresh lime or lemon. If too much lime or lemon juice is used or if vinegar is used in the dressing the rose flavors will be overpowered.
