I have a salad for you today. Yes I’m sharing another salad because I’ve been obsessed with salads this summer, they are so quick and easy to throw together. Salads are the “real” fast food. 

To be completely honest when I go grocery shopping I can’t stop myself from loading up my cart with the beautiful produce. My daughter is always fussing about not having a place in the fridge for everything. So I helped her out and made this magnificent Fruity Kale Salad.

In this salad I used kale because that’s what I had and it happens to be one of my favorites, but you can use whatever green happens to be your favorite. Since I had an abundance of fruit I decided to throw it on a bed of kale instead of making a smoothie like I normally do, just wasn’t in a smoothie state of mind.

This salad has over 7 grams of protein, yes there is protein in fruits and veggies, and it will fill and nourish you. But if you want more protein simply add a protein rich grain like quinoa or wheat berries, you can also add a sprinkling of chia seeds. The Vegan  Poppy-Seed Dressing I shared a few weeks ago is perfect on this salad or you can drizzle with agave nectar or honey.

    Laura and I were just talking about how we should make a salad with some summer fruit…and then I pop over and see this recipe. Looks amazing, Celeste! And I’m like you…I just can’t resist all of the delicious (and inexpensive!) summer produce right now. 🙂

    I love how vibrant and colorful this salad looks. I also seems like a multi vitamin in a bowl. Interested in trying it with a spinach/ kale combo. Thanks for sharing

    This is an awesome salad. I have never massaged my kale, I usually just shove it in my mouth so I will have to start that practice right away. Thanks for sharing with Saucy Saturdays! See you next week!

    I’ve never heard of kale served like this. A massage, eh? I absolutely love fruit on a salad and I know that kale is really good for me, I have to try it. I think I have a hang up because of working in the food industry for so long, kale was always used as a garnish for the plate, never in the food. LOL I guess we’re getting a lot smarter about food, think about all that kale that people never ate!

      You can add spinach to the kale if you like to make it more appealing to everyone.
