It's high in fiber, iron, vitamin k, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, it's an antioxidant, anti-inflammitory and offers cardiovascular support. Is that enough reasons to eat it? These are my two favorites so far, I'll add to the list as I find more that I love. The blueberry balsamic salad may be my favorite kale salad I've ever eaten!
Strawberry + Kale Salad
- 1/2 bunch of dino kale
- Handfull of rip strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped almonds
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 Tbs melted coconut oil or olive oil
Wash, remove tough stem pieces, thinly chop kale & add to your salad bowl. Add in sliced strawberries, shredded coconut, and chopped almonds. In a separate small bowl, melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, or skip if using olive oil. Add lemon juice and honey to oil and stir to combine. Drizzle over salad, toss & serve.
Blueberry Balsamic + Kale Salad
- 1/2 bunch of dino kale
- 1/2 pint blueberries
- 1/4 cup raw cashews, roughly chopped
- 2 Tablespoons raw sunflower seeds
- 2-3 Tablespoons currants
- 1/4-1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Wash, remove tough stem pieces, thinly chop kale & add to your salad bowl. Add the rest of the salad ingredients & toss. Dress with balsamic dressing (recipe below).
Balsamic Dressing
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut aminos (optional)
