Tangy Summer Kale Salad

August 14, 2016 by Jillian Leave a Comment

kale salad

This oh so good summery salad is awesome for many reasons. Here’s a quick rundown: It’s easy to make, light but filling at the same time, full of tangy goodness, all plant based, AND the star of the show is a leafy green packed with antioxidants and fiber. Kale yeah!

I live so close to the beach and after trying to make it there all summer, I finally did last week ๐Ÿ–โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ•ถ The weather was perfect and since school is gearing back up, we basically had the beach to ourselves. Despite my best efforts at sunscreen, I still ended up getting burned really badly. Like, the front of me was so sunburned I had to sleep on my back for two days because it hurt so much ๐Ÿ˜ญ Since then, I’ve been coating myself in coconut oil and aloe vera like there’s no tomorrow. I figure what goes into my body is just as important in my healing process, too. That’s where my Summery Kale Salad comes in. It’s full of fiber and antioxidants and good fats and detoxifying ingredients ๐Ÿ‘

Even though this recipe is enough for 2-3 people, nobody will judge you for eating it all in one sitting. That’s the great thing about salads! ๐Ÿ˜

tangy summer kale salad

Here are the ingredients you will need:

  • 1 head of kale, washed and broken into bite-size pieces
  • juice from 1.5 small lemons
  • 2 small avocados, cubed
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 3 pinches of salt
  • a few sprinkles of garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 slice of red onion, diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • optional: 8 strips of Beyond Meat Lightly Seasoned Strips

Here are the 4 easy steps:

  1. Place the kale, avocado and lemon juice in a large bowl. Use your hands to break up the avocado and massage it into the kale. It’s gonna get a little messy but it’s way easier to use your hands! It’s okay if there’s still some small pieces of avocado when you’re done.
  2. Add salt, garlic powder, hemp seeds and nutritional yeast to the salad and mix. You can use a spoon for this ๐Ÿ˜›ย Feel free to add more lemon juice or seasonings based on how tangy and savory you want it ๐Ÿ‹
  3. Meanwhile, add some olive oil to a pan on medium heat. Place chicken strips in pan and saute on each side for 3-5 minutes until they brown a little. Remove and let cool.
  4. Cut the chicken strips into cubes and add to salad.

Voila!

In the past week I made 2 deeeelicious lentil soup In the past week I made 2 deeeelicious lentil soups. The first is green lentils with potato and mushroom. The second is Greek Red Lentil soup that tastes like a gourmet tomato soup ๐Ÿ… and also has carrot, rosemary, lemon, and a hint of cumin. Both soups have kale because that makes them ๐Ÿ’ฏ% better.

One of the things that has interested me about the One of the things that has interested me about the horrific scene at the Capitol yesterday is the connection between veganism and colonialism. Some of the mob members yesterday were proudly covered in the skins of dead animals. To me, it's no surprise that white male supremacists are speceiests at their core. They believe they are inherently superior. They have historically compared people of color to animals, and treated them as sadistcally as they treat animals. In America, the government orchestrated the slaughtering of 60 million buffalo for no other reason than as a way to starve Indians into submission. Among other things, white supremacy and colonialism is linked to an obsession with killing, hunting, and dominating over others. So here are some bomb homemade VEGAN Butterfinger I made yesterday. Free of cruelty and made from plants. I'm not just vegan for the animals, I'm vegan for people because it is all connected.

Adventures in vegan & gluten free pizza making! ๐Ÿ• The first pizza has homemade alfredo sauce (from cashews), mozzarella, chicken, mushroom, kalamata olive, kale, and shallot. The second one has tomato sauce, cheddar cheese, Beyond sausage, onion, broccoli, and mushroom. Both are topped with vegan ricotta. The pizza dough was pretty good, found it at a natural foods store ๐Ÿ˜‹

Last night I was in bed and realized I hadn't seen Last night I was in bed and realized I hadn't seen Pixie in a while. I got up to look for her and she was nowhere to be found. I kept calling her and looked in every nook and cranny of my house. I thought something terrible happened to her. Then I noticed a pillow moving. She was sleeping inside the pillowcase next to me the whole time. I didn't even know she could climb onto the bed by herself ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
