Bitter green kale encompassed by a tangy raspberry vinaigrette

The kale, with its naturally bitter profile, becomes the perfect canvas for the vibrant tanginess of the vinaigrette. The easy-to-make raspberry vinaigrette transforms the kale, softening its edges as you gently fold it into the mixture, infusing it with a fruity depth that elevates the sandwich. With its blend of fresh raspberries, rounded and fruity olive oil, tangy lemon juice, and sweet honey, the vinaigrette drapes the kale in flavour, making each leaf a delicate yet bold contributor to the overall taste.

Put our mark on it

To try out different flavours, experiment with balsamic vinegar or white wine vinegar instead of lemon juice for a different acidity. Balsamic vinegar adds a sweet and tangy flavour, while white wine vinegar offers a lighter, more delicate acidity.

Spice things up by adding a bit of heat to the vinaigrette with a dash of crushed red pepper flakes or a small amount of minced jalapeno. Or go in the other direction by adding a bit of lemon, lime, or orange zest to the vinaigrette. It enhances its citrus notes, adding an aromatic quality that complements the raspberry flavour deliciously.
