Kale Avocado Salad

The long, hot days of summer are the perfect excuse to dive into some wholesome and healthy salad recipes. My go-to salad throughout the summer is this wonderful salad that’s as easy to make as it is delicious to eat. Okay, I’ll admit it, this is probably my favorite salad … I make it all year long.

This is an easy salad to plan for, especially if you make the farmers markets a part of your weekly routine. Depending on the season, you can find most of the items available at any time. And with just a couple of items from your pantry, you’ll be eating (and enjoying) in no time.

Ingredients
  1. 1 bunch Kale (choose the type you like the best, I like dinosaur kale when I can find it)
  2. 1 small yellow pepper
  3. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  4. 1 medium ripe avocado
  5. 6 strips tempeh bacon, cooked
1 recipe honey dressing
  1. 2 tablespoons honey (use bee free honey for vegan salad)
  2. 2 tablespoons coconut vinegar
  3. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  4. salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Cut kale into bite sized pieces, removing leaves from the stems. Cut yellow pepper into bit sized pieces. Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
  2. Place kale into large bowl. Remove avocado from skin and gently massage into kale pieces. Avocado should easily blend into kale leaves.
  3. Divide kale onto two plates. Equally distribute tomatoes and peppers onto plates. Crumble tempeh bacon into small pieces, and equally divide.
  4. For the honey dressing: combine honey, coconut vinegar and dijon mustard in small bowl until well blended. Salt and pepper according to taste.
  5. Spoon dressing over both salad plates.

    i’m a vegetarian, but i woudln’t really say it’s healthier.when you eat meat, you are for sure getting your daily amount of protein.when your a vegetarian, its a lot harder to. the first month i was a vegetarian, i ended up in the hospital because i was so weak from lack of protein. it all depends on how committed you are going to be about this lifestyle, and if you make sure you get the needed protein. all in all, neither is really healthier than the other.but think of this: if you eat meat, your body is a graveyard of dead animals, all in which died just so you could devour them for your own health reasons. when in reality, you could get the same healthfulness of protein from other things that were never living.

“What is it with females and their chocolate?” Andrew says this every time I make my way into the kitchen looking for something sweet. I’m not a big sweets person. And after reducing my sugar intake substantially over the years, it’s more difficult than ever for me to eat prepackaged desserts. Sure, I’ll have gelato […]

I love summer. Summer means playing outside, long hikes, days at the beach, summer concerts and outdoor plays. Because we’re outside more than we are in, I look for a variety of recipes that are quick to make and even easier to throw in our cooler and be ready for a meal anywhere we choose […]

Cantaloupe and Bulgur Salad

This past weekend, the heat raged on. Hitting our tenth consecutive day above 90 degrees, I knew the nightly dinner routine would NOT include turning on the oven. Before I made the switch to a vegetarian diet, we would visit PF Changs every couple of months when I got a craving for their Shrimp with […]
