Squash and Kale Salad with Tigernuts
The sweet and nutty taste of tigernuts makes the tiny tubers a perfect topping for salad. In this recipe, tigernuts garnish a salad made from acorn squash, kale and bacon. Each bite has a range of sweet, salty, spicy, and pleasantly bitter flavors. Tigernuts are a Primal and paleo friendly snack that can be eaten straight out of the bag. Though the flavor is good, the texture of tigernuts can be a little dry and chewy when eaten alone. But when tossed into an olive oil drenched salad, with creamy acorn squash and fatty bacon, tigernuts don’t taste dry at all. In this salad, tigernuts are a tasty contrasting texture. High in prebiotic fiber (resistant starch), tigernuts can be helpful for feeding gut flora. All that fiber can also lead to digestive distress, if too many tigernuts are eaten at once. So go slow, and don’t eat too many out of the bag before you toss a small handful into this delicious salad. Time in the Kitchen: 1 hour Servings: 4 to 6 Ingredients 1 acorn squ
