Black Magic Salad (Purple Kale, Red Cabbage, Radicchio, Purple Basil, and Berries with Salsa Cremosa Dressing)
This delicious salad has a bit of everything – berries add sweetness and tartness while a savory and bright chili dressing adds some heat to crisp kale and cabbage. Radicchio adds a touch of bitterness and a handful of fresh herbs lighten everything up. The colors are also perfect for Halloween!

Ingredients
Dressing
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 pound red tomatoes halved
- 1 onion peeled and quartered
- 2 garlic cloves peel on, optional
- 2 chile de arbol stem and seeds removed
- water as needed
- salt to taste
Salad
- 1 bunch purple kale stems removed and torn to bite size pieces
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- salt to taste
- 1/4 red cabbage shaved thin
- 1/2 radicchio shaved thin
- 6 ounces blackberries
- 6 ounces blueberries
For Garnish
- purple basil optional
- purple micro greens optional
- edible flower petals optional
Instructions
For the Dressing
- Toss the tomatoes, onion, and garlic in the avocado oil and place onto a foil lined baking sheet, ensuring the cut sides of the onion are face down on the tray and the cut face of the tomatoes are face up. Roast at 425ºF for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly charred.
- Let the roasted vegetables cool until you can handle them. Transfer to a blender, squeeze the garlic from the peel, if using and discard the peel. Add the chile de arbol and blend until completely smooth. Add salt to taste and adjust the consistency with water, as desired to get whatever thickness you prefer.
- Serve at room temperature. Will keep for up to one week, refrigerated.
For the Salad
- Add the kale and oil to a large bowl along with a generous seasoning of salt and using your hands, massage the kale well, really pressing hard on the leaves to bruise them thoroughly. This will make them tender. Add in the cabbage and radicchio and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste, top with berries.
- Drizzle with salsa cremosa dressing and garnish with basil, micro greens, and flower petals, if desired.
