A nutrient-dense plant-based salad recipe that's here to support your hormones :)
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 heads lacinato kale chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 2/3 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 large fugi apple thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup raw walnuts
  • 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 3 tablespoons dried cranberries *
  • 1 tablespoon hemp hearts

For Dressing:

Instructions

  • Place chopped kale in a large serving bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Use your hands to massage the kale leaves with lemon juice until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Allow leaves to sit 10 minutes to allow lemon juice to break down some of the fibers.
  • Add remaining salad ingredients to the serving bowl. Drizzle desired amount of avocado oil and lemon juice over the salad, and sprinkle with sea salt. Toss well until combined. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*Use juice-sweetened dried cranberries rather than sugar-sweetened
