Warm Ginger Beet Kale Salad

January 26, 2017 by Shashi Charles Leave a Comment

Honey and Smoked Paprika battle it out in this Warm Ginger Beet Kale Salad with Walnuts. Simple to make, this salad combines onions, ginger, garlic, kale, and beetroot, topped with walnuts for texture and garnished with parsley.

Warm Ginger Beet Kale Salad With Walnuts

I blame my love of beets on my mom! When I was young growing up in Sri Lanka, my mom would sometimes make beet “mallung”, and other times, beetroot curry. “Mallung” usually means a “mix-up” and my mom’s beet “mallung” was a delicious mix-up of shredded (unsweetened) coconut, finely diced onions, garlic, ginger, beetroot (along with its leaves), whatever greens she could get her hands on, and a smorgasbord of spices. Such a simple list of ingredients that she, somehow, managed to turn into something so totally scrumptious! My mom’s beetroot curry was a delicious and spicy mix of a few simple ingredients like coconut milk, diced tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, and spices. My sister and I would lick our plates clean when my mom served her beetroot curry.

When I came to the US, I would often make my version of my mom’s beet mallung and always eat it with a sliced boiled egg. When cold weather hits, my craving for beets kicks in. I know, you must be thinking, “who in their right mind would crave beets?”, but foods of my youth have a powerful hold on me. For times like those, I whip up some beet curry or a Warm Ginger Beet Kale Salad with Walnuts – inspired by my mom’s beet mallung.

This Warm Ginger Beet Kale Salad with Walnuts is super easy to whip up. Unlike my mom’s beet mallung, this doesn’t have any exotic spices in it. Just a bit of honey (to amp up beet’s natural sweetness), smoked paprika (to balance off the sweetness), onions, ginger, garlic, kale, and beetroot – leaves and all! Before serving, I added in some walnuts for texture and garnished with a bit of parsley.

If you happen to love beets as much as I do, I am sure you will enjoy this delicious, warm salad. My daughter loved this so much, she licked her bowl clean!
