SWEET RAISIN KALE SALAD


My son Paul shared this raw kale salad with me. If you are trying to get more raw greens in your meals I encourage you to try this raw kale salad too.

Spinach and kale can also be put in smoothies with fruit and you won't taste the greens. It does make the color dull when you mix blueberries or strawberries and greens. If kale and spinach are not park of your meal planning, think outside the box. Try them uncooked.

Here is the Sweet Raisin Kale Salad

Kale Wash and pull off the tough stem the amount you want to serve.
Tear Kale into bite size pieces.
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle with a good quality of Honey Don't get too much. Start little and add
more as you taste it.
Massage the oil and honey into the Kale with your hand. This softens and
reduces the Kale a bit.
Add Raisins and a sprinkle of quality Sea Salt. If you question the need for salt,
take a bite before adding and then after adding.
You can add sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds if you like.



A reminder about sea salt: Look for sea salt that has no anti-caking agents or is bleached and heated in processing. These are inferior salts. Your body needs the organic minerals found in natural salt harvested from the oceans.
