Kale salad


Kale is a member of the cruciferous family and is one of the most nutritious foods you can find. This green vegetable is rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin K, chlorophyll, iron, calcium, sulfur, amino acids and much needed fiber. Kale is great in smoothies, in the form of raw dehydrated chips and, of course, salads!.



Kale salad


• 2 bunches finely shredded kale
• ¼ finely chopped red pepper
• 3 tbsp chopped olives of your choice
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions
• 3 stalks celery, finely sliced
• 10 halved cherry tomatoes
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp lemon juice


Preparation: Separate kale leaves from the stems. Roll the leaves into cigars and finely shred. Add salt, olive oil and lemon juice. Massage kale until it wilts. Add olives, onions, sweet red pepper, chili pepper, celery and cherry tomatoes. Mix well. Keeps in the fridge for up to a week.
