Kale Salad

Welcome back! 
Today, we got a refreshing kale salad! This is different from the other types of salad that we usually eat, and although it was different, it was actually really nice. It's very cool and relaxing to eat, which is a little strange, but it's healthy and you feel good after eating it. Once again, this is recipe where you can pretty much add anything in your pantry or fridge, just as long as there's kale.

Kale Salad

Makes about 4 servings

Ingredients:

Salad:
  • 1 bunch kale
  • 1/4 small onion
  • 1/4 cup corn
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 2 mangos
Dressing:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Prepare the kale:
    1. Wash it thoroughly, remove the stems, then drain.
    2. Chop the kale into small pieces
    3. Spray with some olive oil
    4. Massage the leaves for a couple minutes to soften the kale
  2. Prepare your toppings, just chop everything into chunks of similar size to the kale
  3. Prepare the dressing: mix everything until it becomes one smooth liquid
  4. Put the dressing in the salad with your toppings, toss, and enjoy!
    We served with some nice, cheesy bread
That's just what we did, but there's so much more that you can do! For other vegetables, you could use red onion or broccoli, for other fruit, you could use cranberries or apples, or you could add some nuts like almonds or walnuts. Some other kale salad recipes use cheese; for this, feta or cheddar cheese works best. You could also add cilantro and remove the dijon mustard to give it more of a Tex-Mex feel! This is a great recipe for customization!

Habanero Salsa

Welcome back!  Today, we have a fiery Habanero Salsa! Salsa is deceptively easy to make - just chop up a few ingredients and put it through a food processor - and if you do it yourself, you're able to get it to exactly the right consistency and flavor that you want. In this case, we were able to concoct a devilishly spicy salsa with a fresh habanero. Plus, this is so much fresher than the store-bought variety of salsa! Habanero Salsa Ingredients: 3 medium tomatoes (or Roma tomatoes), deseeded 1/4 small red onion 1 jalapeno 1 habanero Cilantro 1 tablespoon lime juice Pinch of salt Directions: Chop the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and habanero into rough chunks - not diced. Cut the cilantro so that there aren't any long stems. Add the chopped ingredients into a food processor along with the lime juice and salt. Pulse until the desired consistency is reached. This salsa is great by itself but it also is an amazing way to add an extra kick to guacamole or some Brisket Queso, and of ...
