I'm addicted to........

kale salad!! Lately, I've had a huge craving for kale salad, especially the way that I make it. Hubby loves it too.

I'm sure there has been a thread like this before.. but what is your favorite dish? let's try to focus on veggie and not any dessert dishes.

FYI, anyone who doesn't have much experience with kale salad, I make it a lot like the recipe in Alissa's book but I also change it up a bit...

Kale (shredded)
Carrot (thinly shredded)
Tomatoes (diced)
Dash of celtic salt
Bit o' raw apple cider vinegar
Dash 'o fresh lemon juice
Drizzle of olive oil
Drizzle of raw gave (or raw honey --- your choice)

I don't measure anything.. I just toss it together with my hands. It's so good and very filling too. If I don't feel like having anything sweet, then I just leave out the agave.

Also, last night I made chard wraps. I used the red chard as wraps, filled it with dill "cream cheese" and sprinkled some raw cashes on top.

Paprika! I usually eat them in their natural condition,
because they are so good as they are:)

Oh. And apples. I eat way to many apples in one day:/

Oh how I wish I could get addicted to kale! I like it cooked, but I'm struggling to love it raw. Perhaps some kale chips would do the trick.

Right now, all I want to eat is juicy, sweet fruit and lots of it. Melons, mangoes, oranges, and especially grapes. Can't get enough of it!

I'm in a funky "no appetite" zone, but I love kale in a green smoothie. Can't handle it in a salad--too bitter at this point in my life. (Leaving opening for improvement!) :)

Salad:
mixed greens or baby romaine
red peppers
cucumbers
tomatoes
parsley
raw red wine vinegar, Celtic salt, olive oil AND
5 CALAMATA OLIVES! I'm hooked on olives...

Anyway, add one of Alissa's yummy carrot-pecan burger and you're full for hours!

That's funny. I never liked cooked kale, but I love raw kale. This also applies to swisschard, celery etc. I just never really liked ANY kind of cooked veggie. They are so much better fresh.

kris - you can blanche the kale, just pour hot water over it. also make a kale salad in a dressing and eat it the next day - it will "cook" in the marinade - the leaves will become soft and yummy!

I'm eating raw kale salad again, someone check me into rehab!!
