Nourish Kitchen + Table’s Detox Kale Salad

When we interviewed Marissa Lippert and her best friend Katie back in September for our Besties series we couldn’t help but swoon over the beautiful salads Marissa dished up at her Manhattan café Nourish Kitchen Table. Her engage-all-senses approach to food is what has made Nourish a healthy hotspot in the West Village, and her colorful salads are every bit as gorgeous as they are delicious. It took a bit of coaxing, but we eventually talked Marissa into sharing not one, but two of her signature salad recipes here on the blog!

“This salad was originally born on my balcony while cooking a relaxing summer dinner with my good friend and crazy-talented photographer, Jen Altman,” says Marissa in regards to Nourish’s popular Detox Kale Salad. “The original version highlighted mustard greens, but we’ve adapted it for Nourish with kale and watermelon radish. This one’s so addictive, we haven’t been able to take it off the menu since we opened! Serve it with a simple grilled steak or piece of roasted fish.”
