Summer Glow Chopped Kale Salad

For the dressing:

cilantro lime dressing

For the salad:

kale,

strawberries

avocado, sliced or diced

corn, raw, grilled

feta crumbles

red onion

Optional protein add-ins:

bacon, optional

chicken breasts

First make your cilantro lime dressing. You can find the recipe here.

Add your finely chopped kale to a bowl. Remember you want to REALLY chop the kale very well. Pour the dressing over the kale and use tongs or clean hands to massage the dressing into the kale; you REALLY want to get it mixed well, so toss together for a few minutes to help break down the kale. Allow the dressing to sit with the kale for 15 minutes or longer to help the kale marinate with the dressing.

Finally add your strawberries, avocado, corn, feta crumbles, sliced red onion, pistachios to the bowl with the kale. Give it a gentle toss with tongs to combine everything. Serves 4. Salad will keep well in the fridge for 1-3 days.

Blueberries, kale, and walnuts pair perfectly in this delicious vegan blueberry summer kale salad that is packed with antioxidants. Topped with a simple blueberry vinaigrette that you&#39;ll want to add to every salad this summer.

Blueberry Summer Kale Salad

quinoa

water broth

walnuts, chopped

curly or lacinato kale, chopped

olive oil

blueberries

vegan feta cheese

balsamic vinegar

100% pure maple syrup

sea salt and black pepper

Add quinoa to a fine mesh strainer and rinse well with cold water.

Combine the quinoa and water/broth in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then cover and turn heat down to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa is softened. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

While the quinoa cooks, wash the kale, cut out the stems, and chop into thin strips. Massage with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to soften leaves.

To prepare the dressing, pour all the ingredients into a blender. (If your blender has a single serving cup, that works best.) Puree just until smooth.

To assemble the salad, put the kale into a bowl, top with blueberries, quinoa, walnuts, and vegan feta cheese. Pour dressing over top and toss to coat. Season with dash of sea salt and black pepper to serve.
