I’ve been craving a good kale salad lately. Kale salads can be so satisfying, so healthful, so scrumptious. With this craving in mind, I went ingredient shopping to Whole Foods. The perfect place to start such a quest, wouldn’t you agree?
When I got to the produce section, I saw they offered an impressive selection of kale. I went with the one that looked the most sturdy and vibrant: Dino Kale. Also, totally loved its name. Loved how fresh it looked. Loved its deep green color. And loved its texture.
Then, I ventured off to the bulk section and saw that walnuts were on sale, so I bought a bunch of those to go with my salad.
From the corner of my eye, I was able to see some great looking apple juice sweetened dark cherries. I immediately turned around and walked towards them; I knew these ladies would 100% compliment the walnuts in my salad. Mmm. I could already taste the goodness.
Then, it was time for me to start thinking of my salad’s dressing. I knew I wanted it to be savory, not sweet, so that already narrowed down my options, and I was already leaning more towards a tangy and citrusy sort of flavor. So, I grabbed a few last ingredients I was needing for this, and then headed home.
I had remembered reading about a salad recipe online that carried a walnut combination with nutritional yeast and garlic, so I decided to mimic that. The nutritional yeast would give my salad a nice cheesy flavor, that would go just perfect with the garlic and lemon, plus it is super nutritious.
I made my Dino Kale Super Salad with some delicious homemade grilled chicken. Best meal I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend it.
