Kale Salad

You are no doubt aware of the nutritional wonders of kale.  Many of us, including me until recently,  have not had kale raw except when buried in a smoothie, and not only do I eat this, I love it! Maybe it is part of the changing tastes as we adjust to a plant based diet,  but this was the best salad I have ever had. Seriously. Try it!

Combine in serving bowl:

4-5 large kale leaves, washed, torn into bite size pieces

1 jar of roasted red peppers, chopped

2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped finely

1 can Cannelli beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup of sliced olives (both black & green work well) 

Whisk together:

2 Tbsp liquid stevia or agave

juice of 1/2  lemon

fresh ground sea salt and black pepper to taste

optional: Top with slivered almonds for garnish
