Winter green salad with lemon herb dressing

Ensalada verde de invierno con salsa limoneta

In the cold months, our bodies appreciate foods that strengthen the immune system. This salad combines the nutritional density of winter greens and leaves with a citrusy, vibrant "limoneta" (lemon vinaigrette). To enhance the herbal notes and balance the acidity of the lemon without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt 0%.

Ingredients

  • 100g kale (without the tough stems)

  • 100g fresh spinach

  • 1 green apple (Granny Smith type)

  • 1 stalk celery

  • 30g sliced almonds or pine nuts

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Massaging the kale: A professional secret to make kale pleasant to eat is to cut it into thin strips and "massage" it with your hands for one minute with a few drops of oil and a pinch of Bonsalt . This breaks down the fibers and makes it much more tender.

  2. Preparing the greens: Mix the massaged kale with the fresh spinach in a large bowl.

  3. Fresh cut: Slice the green apple very thinly and cut the celery into almost transparent crosswise slices. These will add the crunchy, juicy touch.

  4. Aromatic toasting: In a small pan with no fat, toast the sliced almonds until lightly golden. Set aside for the end.

  5. Emulsifying the limoneta: In a glass jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, honey, pepper, and a generous amount of Bonsalt 0%. Shake vigorously until the sauce emulsifies and turns pale.

  6. Assembly and serving: Pour the limoneta over the green base and mix well so that all the leaves are coated. Top with the apple, celery, and toasted almonds.
