Ingredients

The Dressing

  • 2 Tbsp shallots
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp white miso
  • 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • ½ tsp English mustard
  • Tbsp roasted sesame oil
  • Tbsp vegetable oil
  • cracked black pepper

The Salad

  • ½ juiced lemon
  • 170 g shredded kale stems removed
  • 60 g baby spinach
  • 2 Tbsp flaked almonds
  • 1 Tbsp toasted pine nuts
  • 1 Tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
  • 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan

To Serve

  • Chilli-glazed salmon
  • Spring onion salad
  • Korean yuja pickles

Instructions

  • Naked kale can be bland and a little dry. So, dress it up. Start by finely slicing the scallotts and whisking them together with the rest of the dressing ingredients. Members of the allium family - that's onions, garlic, leeks and chives - all count towards your 10, and are rich in immune-protective nutrients.
  • Massage lemon juice into the kale to break down the chewy fibres, then add the baby spinach - a good source of vitamin K, which supports fat loss - along with the dressing. Toss together, then add the nuts, seeds and Parmesan. Serve with salmon, a spring onion salad (Joo dresses onion in soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, gochugaru chilli powder, sesame oil and sugar) and a spoonful of Korean pickles.
