After having three children, I have jumped into the world of raw food while dabbling in some vegan and strict-pescetarian dishes. These are my stories about every day battles of motherhood, food, and myself.

Marinated Kale


Been super into kale lately and I doubt that it will ever really stop. It's so good for you and I love the taste. I eat it every day in smoothies, salads, sandwiches, and wraps.

I found this recipe while browsing. I just need some flax oil and hemp seeds.



Marinated Kale Salad

Marinade:

  • 1 clove garlic, finely diced
  • 1 lemon, juice from (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar (you can substitute your favorite sweetener)

  • 1/4 cup flax seed oil

1.Whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, agave, salt and pepper.

2. Slowly pour oil into the mixture while still whisking. Set aside.

Salad:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 avocados, chopped
  • 1/4 head purple cabbage, chopped
  • 1/4 purple onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds

1. Remove stems from kale leaves and tear into bite sized pieces.

2. Combine kale with marinade. Massage for a few minutes to well coat, set aside.

3. Prepare tomato, avocado, cabbage and onion.

4. Stir into kale mixture and mix well.

5. Top with 1/4 cup hemp seeds and mix in.
