What are the ingredients in this salad?
- Mix of colorful and nutrient dense vegetables: I have used Kale, Purple cabbage and carrots but you can use any mix of fresh vegetables for your salad. A mix of greens with other crunchy vegetables is recommended.
- Lemon Juice and Extra Virgin Olive Oil: This mixture of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil is used to massage the kale leaves so that they get softened. This is an important step if you are using kale leaves.
- Proteins: I have used canned white cannellini beans in this salad. However you can use any other beans or use shredded chicken.
- Dressing: The dressing consists of Tahini, maple syrup, garlic powder, sea salt, lemon juice, Berry habanero Jelly and water.
