BLT (Tempeh Bacon, Kale and Tomato) Salad
Jan 9th
Tempeh Bacon, Kale and Tomato Salad
This recipe is from Vegan Yum Yum. We have tried is a couple times and is a huge favorite for us. The kids eat a bit of it. We can’t say enough good things about it. Kale is a super food too, tons of vitamin K, A, and C. We on a constant search for good, kid-friendly recipes that have dark green leafy vegetables.
This salad is just way too good. We try to save leftovers for lunch, and this never lasts until the next day. We typically eat it as the main course. We give the kids the ingredients separately (kale with dressing, bacon, and then add some carrots… and half of a pb&j sandwich).
Apricot BBQ Tofu, Avocado Marinated Kale Salad and Southwestern Corn Pudding
Jul 25th
This was an excellent meal. The Apricot BBQ Tofu is a repeat from Veganomicon. Good stuff. The southwestern corn pudding is the obvious standout in this meal. It was from Veganomicon. We love this recipe and we love this cookbook! We are also trying to get more kale recipies because how vitamin rich kale apparently is. This salad was excellent. We got the recipe from a friend’s friend. Thanks for passing it along, Brenda!
Avocado Marinated Kale Salad
Ingredients
1 head kale, destemmed- we used dino
2 avocados (can use 2 Tbsp olive oil instead- we didn’t)
3 lemons (or lemon juice)
2 large tomatoes
handful of mung bean sprouts (I usually don’t use, mostly because I don’t have them on hand)
sea salt to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
Method
Wash kale very well. Remove leaves for inner stem with you hands or knife. Place into a large mixing bowl and with yourhands rip the kale into small bite size pieces. Scoop out the avocado into the bowl. Juice the lemons into the bowl. Dice the tomatoes and add. Add the sea salt and cayenne and then dig your hands in an mush it all up until the kale softens. Add the sprouts about half way through to get them incorporated, but not demolished. This is good right away and also saves well.
Notes
Kale has the highest level of antioxidants of all the greens. The kids will eat it as well. They prefer dino kale- which we got for this salad at the farmer’s market.
