Hi everybody!
Every week I’m trying new interesting and delicious salad recipes. Fresh salads are healthy, nutritious, and balancing our diet. Healthy doesn’t necessarily mean boring. This kale salad is tasty, crunchy with fresh vegetables, and the right seasoning. This salad has extra tart with the homemade Baby Pickled Lemons, I made a few weeks earlier. My pickled lemons are enriched with savouriness and acidity. Hence, chances are you won’t have to add lemon and salt to your salad. Finely chop the pickled lemon, and add it to the salad. Make sure to taste test before adding seasoning, as one pickled lemon is very concentrated in flavor.
Kale Benefits
I’ve been having a lot of kale lately. It’s just an amazing vegetable. Suitable for salad, baking, cooking and smoothies. And all in all, it is healthy, nutritious and delicious. Kale contains high amounts of vitamin A, helps reduce cholesterol in the blood, strengthens and immunes the body, contributes to detoxification and contributes to good mood among other things.
Cooked chickpeas are rich in protein, increase energy and satiates for long time, are great for strengthening bones and aiding with healthy weight loss.
This kale salad is great as a full meal with vegan cheese or tofu, avocado, or whatever you like to add to your salad. It is excellent as a side dish, or an appetizer as well. Quick and easy salad to prepare and super healthy for you.
