I’ve been researching the benefits of raw food. Uncooked vegetables offer us so many nutrients. I’ve been trying to incorporate raw foods into my daily regimen.

As you know from following this blog, I LOVE KALE! So I researched several raw kale recipes and of course came up with my own version. I hope you will be daring and try it.

After I made it I brought some to work the next day for some of my meat eating co-workers to try. They enjoyed it! I think this can replace your traditional iceberg lettuce salad as an appetizer. I also incorporate this into my collard green wraps and sometimes just eat it with tomato. Enjoy.
