Mexican Kale and Corn Salad

Mexican Kale and Corn Salad

February 18, 20241 min read

Ingredients:

  • 1 small bunch of kale

  • 1 /2 teaspoon salt (optional)

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 /2 red onion, diced

  • 1 1/2 cups sweet white corn, frozen or canned (drained or thawed)

  • 1 16 oz can black beans, rinsed (no salt or low-sodium preferred)

  • 1 /2 cup salsa, jarred or homemade

  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds/pepitas, unsalted

  • 1 /2 cup unsalted blue corn tortilla chips (baked preferred)

Instructions:

  1. Wash kale, remove stems, and break up into small bite-size pieces and place in a medium bowl.

  2. Add the salt and half of the lemon juice. Massage the kale for 1-2 minutes and set aside.

  3. Add red onion, black beans, corn, salsa, and pepitas to the massaged kale.

  4. Sprinkle with crushed blue corn chips and drizzle with remaining lemon. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes:

If you are not serving this recipe immediately, reserve the corn chips until ready to serve as they will get soggy. Also, if you cannot find corn chips, this recipe still tastes great with just the crunch of the pepitas. To create a brighter look, add a fresh diced tomato or a red pepper.
