Brad's Raw Kale Chips

Alright, so this is not a recipe, but every now and then you come accross something too awesome not to shout from the rooftops, and these kale chips my friends, should be blasted from every rooftop. I was shopping at my fav local store The Heritage and they had these out for sampling... I died, soooo good! delicious crispy little pieces of fresh kale a little spicy, a little salty, but not cooked so all the nutrients remain in tact. I have since purchased way too many boxes and and ate them all. you can find a local retailer in your area here

Now go find some and snack guiltlessly!!!!

Raw Kale and Avocado Salad

This is just one of those dishes that hits the spot, especially when you are craving something...but you don't know what... It's so healthy and filling and chocked full of nutrients your body needs. this is whole, raw vegan eating at its finest...yum!!!


1/2 head kale, shredded (curly kale is the best type)
1/2 cup tomato, chopped (I've used heirloom, grape and cherry)
1/2 avocado (set some chunks aside to add after mixing)
1-2 tbsp olive oil
juice from 1/2 lemon
sea salt, to taste
18 tsp cayenne (optional)
topping options: sunflower seeds, raisins, hemp seeds, shredded carrots, sesame seeds or untoasted nori


Preparation

In mixing bowl, toss all ingredients together. Mush everything together (with your hands) to create wilted effect on kale. This makes it much tastier and easier to digest.
