Hey guys! Happy hump day! Today I am sharing a super antioxidant loaded, flavorful kale salad. It might just be my favorite salad ever. Do you remember my spring roll recipe from a few weeks ago? Well, this salad is actually another recipe I learned at the bachelorette party in July thanks to nutritionist Erika Laurion. Last week I had my friend Elyse over for a lunch date/picnic and she took all of these awesome pictures (and filmed the video below)! You should check our her photography website. It's AMAZING -- she is one talented lady. How cute is this pic below she took of my puppy Luna? Luna just wanted a taste of the kale salad- who wouldn't!? :)
Here's the recipe:
Dressing ingredients:
· 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
· 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of honey or 1/4 cup of agave
· 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
· 1 clove of grated garlic
· A generous pinch of salt
Salad ingredients:
· 2 heads of broccoli
· 1 bunch of washed kale
· 1/2 cup of shredded coconut (unsweetened)
· 1/2 cup sliced almonds
· 1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions:
1. Whisk all dressing ingredients together.
2. Chop broccoli into small pieces.
3. Massage kale in hands (see video) after chopping into small pieces.
4. Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl.
5. Add dressing and toss to coat. ENJOY!
*I served the salad with a side of Cava spicy hummus, Mary's Gone Crackers and tuna salad.
