Got kale? Mango? Fonio?
What’s fonio?
It’s an ancient, nutrient dense grain from West Africa that gives this salad it’s heartiness.
This salad wants nothing and is complete on it’s own as a meal 🙂

FOR SALAD
- Massage kale greens with 1/2 of the Moringa Ginger Viniagrette, until the leaves are properly dressed and well seasoned. The kale greens will soften from this process. You may add a bit more viniagrette if you need, but I found 1/2 of the dressing was enough. I stored the rest in the fridge for future use.
- Mix in cooked fonio
- And then add cucumber, tomatoes and mangoes.
- Lastly toss in cilantro.
- Enjoy!
Notes
If you are a meat eater, this salad will pair nicely with a piece of roasted sustainably caught, wild fish!
