On Salt Kitchen Meditations with Kendall Vanderslice
-
- Christianity
Are you a salt fiend? Or someone who prides yourself on the fact that you don’t need any to enjoy what you eat? Did you know that salt is one of the most important, if underappreciated ingredients in just about every dish? It plays so many roles in our food, aside from just aiding the flavor. And it’s been a powerful political tool throughout history too. How does that reshape your understanding of Jesus’ quip, “you are the salt of the earth”?

Kale Salad:
1 teaspoon diced red onion2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar1/4 cup olive oil2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese3 small bowls of kaleTwo pinches of salt1/2 of your favorite croutons (my favorite? Homemade using the leftovers of my latest Bake & Pray loaf!)
Place the red onion in a glass jar and cover with the balsamic vinegar. Let sit for 10 minutes, then add the olive oil. Once combined, stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Divide the kale between three bowls, massaging a pinch of salt into one and letting it sit for five minutes.
Add dressing and croutons to all three bowls, then salt one of the unsalted bowls.
Taste all three and observe the differences based on the use of salt!
