Ingredients

Kale Salad

1 tbsp (15 ml) canola oil
1 tsp (5 ml) white wine vinegar
1 tsp (5 ml) Dijon mustard
1 cup (60 g) kale, stemmed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup (70 g) cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 tsp nutritional yeast (see note)

Omelettes

6 egg whites
2 tbsp chives, chopped
1 tsp (5 ml) Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) canola oil

Preparation

Place two 5-inch (13 cm) cast iron skillets or ramekins (1 1/4 inches/3.5 cm high) on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Kale Salad

In a bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar and mustard. Add the kale and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Let marinate while you prepare the omelettes.

Omelette

In another bowl, whisk the egg whites, chives and mustard with an electric mixer until medium peaks form. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove the skillets from the oven. Divide the oil between the two skillets and brush to distribute. Add half of the egg white mixture to each skillet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the omelettes are puffy and golden.
Loosen the omelettes and slide onto plates. Add the cherry tomatoes to the kale and mix to combine. Garnish the omelettes with the salad. Sprinkle with the nutritional yeast.

Note

You can find nutritional yeast in health food stores or in some supermarkets. Do not confuse it with baker’s yeast, which is light brown and granular whereas nutritional yeast is yellow and flaky.
