Grilled Kale (or, I like it hot and cold)

I ♥ kale.  I drink kale for breakfast; I eat kale salads for lunch; I dehydrate kale. It was just a matter of time until I would try it on the grill.

Last night I wanted something light to go with my grilled tofu.  I spied a big ole bunch of kale from the farmer’s market that I had washed and dried (salad spinner) Sunday.

JL’s Grilled Kale

  • Massage kale in olive oil and sea salt
  • Add onion slices, a dash of Herbamare and pepper
  • Wrap in a foil pouch and grill for 20 minutes

At the same time I grilled tofu on a sheet of foil.

I placed 8 oz of tofu (6 thin slices) in a shallow baking dish.  In a bowl I whisked all five ingredients together, poured it over the tofu and covered the dish. I refrigerated it for 24 hours (I prefer a long tofu marinade but a couple of hours is fine, too.)

YUM.

Today I made yet another massaged kale (and collards) salad with quinoa and blueberries.  To shake things up, I crumbled a thin slice of tofu in a bowl, added lentils, red onion, agave, basil and cayenne pepper and tossed it with the salad.

Grilled or cold, I love me some kale and tofu. How do YOU like your kale and/or tofu?
