Ingredients

10 ounces
ready-to-eat frozen soybeans, thawed
1 1/2 tablespoons
olive oil
4 cups
kale, chopped
1/4 cup
flaxseed
1/4 cup
panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup
raisins
2 tablespoons
white miso
1/4 cup
non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon
rice vinegar
1 tablespoon
sesame oil
Zest
from half a navel orange
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss soybeans with 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet and spread evenly. Roast, stirring occasionally, until soybeans begin to look toasted, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  2. Take 3/4 of the chopped kale and toss with dressing. Toss the remaining kale in a separate bowl with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, flaxseed, and breadcrumbs. Spread over a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until crisped, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven.
  3. Toss all kale, raisins, and roasted soybeans together. Serve immediately.
  4. To make dressing, whisk white miso, non-fat Greek yogurt, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and zest from half a navel orange together until smooth. Refrigerate until use.
  5. Handy Hint: Kale can be naturally tough, so chopping it into bite-size pieces, deveining the leaves, and tossing the raw kale with an acidic dressing while the coated kale crisp up tenderizes the greens, leaving you with easy-to-eat leafy greens.
