Plantbased eating doesn’t have to be limiting or boring, it’s fresh, fun vibrant and delicious! Who can resist something as pretty as this? Plus, it has tons of fibre, protein and good fats. Kale is a deep green nutritional powerhouse containing lots of anti-oxidant chlorophyll, vitamins A, C, K & B, calcium and iron. Beets also have iron, potassium, vitamin C and B, which are vital for the functioning of the nerve system. Quinoa is the most amazing grain (it’s actually a pseudo-grain and belongs to the family of seeds) because it’s gluten free and has a super high protein content.
Ingredients:
- 4 curly kale stems
- ½ – 1 cup cooked quinoa
- ½ cooked beet
- ½ avocado
- 1 watermelon radish
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ lemon
- ½ tsp honey/agave syrup
- pink salt
Directions:
De-stem the kale and rip it into bite size pieces. Drizzle some of the olive oil, lemon juice and salt over the kale and massage it with your hands until the fibers are broken down and it’s tender. Let it sit for ten minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the rest of the lemon, olive oil, agave syrup and salt to a dressing, mix with a fork until combined. Cut the beet and avocado into bite size pieces and slice the watermelon radish paper thin with a mandolin. Assemble all of the ingredients on top of the massaged kale and drizzle the dressing over it. Bon appétit!
