Jules' Gotu Kola Sambola Kale Salad

Jules • September 1, 2020

A High Street Garden take on a traditional Sri Lankan fresh salad recipe.

 

This recipe makes a lot of salad, but it is so delicious that it never lasts more than a day in the fridge! This fresh kale and tomato recipe is perfect when you have tons of kale and want to make the most of it. Mix the salad together before adding the dressing, and then mix again, flavouring to taste. For an extra crunch, add crispy fried onions on top. For a balanced lunch, add your favourite protein, like a boiled egg, chickpeas or chicken! 

 

For the salad:

 

  • 1 large bunch of kale, minced
  • 4 shallots (or green onions), minced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 chili pepper or jalapeño, minced (optional, if you like it spicy!)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut, raw
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut, toasted

 

For the dressing:

 

  • 3 tsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp sugar (seriously, don't skip the sugar!)
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp chili flakes 
  • 1 tsp chili powder

 

Enjoy!!

6 Tips for Bringing a Toddler to the Garden

Perhaps you want to join us at the garden but you don’t get a lot of free time without your kids, or you would like to teach your kids all there is to learn from tending a garden. Either way, here at High Street Garden we love when families (with kids of all ages) join us. I joined the Community Garden this year and thought I would share some tips that I have learned from bringing my almost 2 year old with me...
