Video Transcripts: How to Make Tuscan Kale Salad - True Food Kitchen Recipe
What we’re serving here is good. You can eat every day and that's so uncommon in the restaurant business. Most of the time, you go to a restaurant and you walk out and sort of feel like maybe you took a couple years of your life. Here, the comment that I get more than anything is, I feel like I just exercised, I feel great, and that's what I think keeps people coming back, everything every day. And this all conforms to the principles of the anti-inflammatory diet and this dish that we’re going to make you. Certainly kale was one of the richest sources of vitamins, minerals, iron, and calcium.
This is a variety of kale called the Tuscan black kale, lacinato kale; Cavolo nero is the Italian name, dinosaur kale sometimes. It’s my favorite kale. I have a bunch of this in my garden and it’s getting near the end of its season as it gets hot. One of the tricks to this is to remove the tough stalks and then this is shredded. I don't have any black pepper, could you get me a little? Great and the trick with this is that this is going to be, it will have a dressing over it of Lucini extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and a grated Parmesan cheese. I use a sheep cheese in it, but we find Parmesan is sort of more generally acceptable here. And the trick is to let this sit for at least five minutes, better 10 minutes or so, and that removes the bitterness and toughness of kale and completely changes it.
And one of the nice things about this, it keeps. You can keep this. I make a big batch of this and it will keep for several days in the refrigerator and is as good. It doesn't wilt like the like lettuce. Great, so I’m first going to toss this with wonderful Lucini extra virgin olive oil, okay, black pepper, red pepper. Should I use all of that? Is that the amount? Yeah we can adjust at the end. Ok salt; yes a little lemon juice in here. Let’s toss and we’ll taste. Let me put the garlic in. And fresh garlic. It’s kind of like a tender cole slaw, Italian cole slaw.
We get a lot of people to come to the restaurant and eat this dish, like three or four days a week and they always ask me, because we give the recipe away. And we have little cards and we give it away. And they always say, you know I tried to make the kale salad at home and it just wasn’t the same. And the first thing I always ask them is; what kind of olive oil are you using? Because you really, with something this simple, you have to start with the best Ingredients. You have to start with really fresh kale and you have to have really good quality olive oil, real parmigiana. Take the rest of that. Nowadays, especially farmers markets, Whole Foods, Sprouts you know, the grocery stores that have the better ingredients for sure and this variety of kale, which was rare in The US is now common. And you can get organic kale and I strongly recommend getting organic kale. Pardon me.
So what ended up happening is there’s like this shift between meat and fish and dairy and produce. We are about 65 percent produce here, whereas in most restaurants its exact opposite is true. So we didn't make this big bowl of kale for nothing, you guys are going to try this now. Okay, but this is, I mean, fantastic and people get addicted to this stuff. This variety of kale, most kale comes from Scotland or Russia, and it can even grow through heavy frost. It gets sweeter with frost. This variety from Italy is more heat tolerant.
You should all help yourselves.
My absolute favorite salad! Delicious and energizing. I crave it all the time!!! 💚💚
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE! Love this Tuscan Kale Salad and have been making it for about 6 months now! :)
I AM ADDICTED TO THIS STUFF!!! Serious, try it for yourself!
Want to cook a lasagna for my fam this Saturday and I want this salad to go with it. I had went to the Tipsy Parson(and I admit at first I was thrown off by the name) and tasted this salad and fell in love with it. Ever since then I have been trying to find a recipe on how to make it. Thank you so much for showing how to make it :)
Had the lovely kale salad at your new Naples True Food kitchen restaurant....awesome! LOVED my TLT sandwich too (tempeh, lettuce & tomato) !
thanks dr weil.LOVE ALL YOUR BOOKS,TOO.GOD BLESS.LOVE.
Thank you Dr. Weil.
Luccini olive oil is amazing ! I love dr. Weil!
This is my favorite restaurant! Love it.
Wow... years ago my father gave me this same recipe, minus the garlic and he used it on escarole. It's so delicious and I am actually making it tonight with a kale spinach and chard organic mix I found at Trader Joe's... This time I am trying it WITH the garlic. :9 MM MM MMM! Merci beaucoup! ♥
I love how Dr Weil can't keep his hand out of that salad! This is delicious!
I love this kale. I have only seen it a few times in my city. It is hard to get here
Thank you-sounds wonderful!
thanks. What's that white powdery stuff Dr. Weil keeps throwing in there? Is it the cheese? Or bread crumbs?
thanks very much dr.well!
I heard you can rinse kale under hot water for a few seconds to make it softer and then rinse cold on it.
I was a new cook trying to get out of bbq and Italian food I had recently been bouncing between and into healthy eating tried to get a job at true foods Austin don’t do drugs haven’t had any felonies and have been to culinary school as well as cooked at North Italia which before true foods sold out to Oprah was part of Fox concepts . I didn’t get the job because when I ate there previously I called out the manager for my kale salad not being dressed it was just Kale by itself no oil no lemon juice no chili flakes ,garlic or Parmesan ,breadcrumbs nothing and he recognized i was the guy and said we aren’t hiring anymore . All while right outside was a sign that said now hiring all positions lol . I felt like at least I’d be able to make sure the food was done rite . I wrote about my experience with him to the company and didn’t see him there a month later idk if he left or what but he never came back . I’d love to still be able to cook there but feel like I’d be higher up by now had I been given the chance to cook . I love what I do no matter how little I make money wise i have a true passion for catering to people as far as food and nourishment goes . It’s my passion to feed people with food that actually helps the body. This salad is so good I can’t get enough I eat it once a week with either grilled shrimp or salmon . True foods really has a great concept.
I wonder if my local Whole Foods carries the cheese they are talking about. How is is spelled, does anyone know?
yeah, its the Parmesan cheese. He has grated the cheese fine. You can buy pre shredded parmesan for time saving but the best parmesan are in a solid block .. and you need to grate it yourself.
Parmesan Cheese.... can get it at any supermarket. The more expensive, the better taste.
He was wearing gloves. I was more concerned with the watch and wrist band which he should have taken off, since they were not covered.
No, he had bare hands, The other gentleman did wear gloves.
@@loissorensen3109 in a kitchen you're suppose to wear no watches or jewelry
your restaurant assistant was hand mixing the kale salad..he had a ring on his finger...is that sanitary? bacteria gets under hand jewelry ..no??
Dr. W had the bare hands.
I itched my butt with kale. THANKS DR. WEE WEE
Looks delicious but I too wish the Dr wore gloves - especially since he scratched his head.
Im sure his head is less toxic than those rubber gloves.
Raw kale and thyroid?
Very funny movie. Dr. Weil keeps dumping God knows what other stuff in the salad while the other guy keeps talking about how great it is. Seems to have a lot more ingredients than what he initially listed. It's funny though - Weil seems to be addicted himself to this stuff. Probably a good sign, he looks healthy (or is that big beard covering something up? You know you can't distrust Santa).
+rewtnode Yeah, not unlike most salads with tough greens, you think it needs more seasoning than it does, than if you let it sit for awhile. That plus the fact the older you get, the more dull your taste is (fact).
The dude is not mixing the food he rather talk
