I whipped this salad up in literally 10 minutes and it made a whole bowl full that will last me the rest of the week (provided I don't eat it all at once!)

What you'll need:

• 1/2 cauliflower, grated fine 
• 3 cups flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 1 cup fresh mint, chopped
• 2 large tomatoes, diced fine 
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
• Pink salt
• Black pepper

What you'll do:

1. Add the tomatoes, cauliflower and lemon juice to a bowl and let it sit for a few minutes while you are chopping up the rest of the ingredients. 
2. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine.

That's it - simple, fresh and delicious! 

This salad goes perfectly with freshly grilled steak or as an add in to dress up a plan old garden salad.

Making Friends with Kale

Let's face it, kale isn't exactly at the top of anyones favourite foods list... but after playing around with a few flavours, I must admit that this one is starting to make its way up there!

Here's what you'll need:

• Fresh bunch of kale 
• Juice of a full lemon or 2 tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
• 1 tbsp organic whole mustard seeds 
• Pinch of pink salt
• Pinch of black pepper

Here's what you'll do:

1. Chop the kale fine until shredded and add it to a large bowl 
2. Add in the remaining ingredients and, using your hands, massage each of the leaves so they are all coated

Why do we massage the leaves?

Kale is notoriously course and can be very harsh on the digestive system. Massaging the leaves, especially with an acidic component (lemon, lime, ect.) assist in breaking down the fibre, improving our ability to digest them.

This salad can be used as it is or as a base recipe if you're feeling creative! A few personal favourites include:

• Red raddishes sliced finely using a mandolin 
• Baby cucumbers 
• Red onions 
• Avocado slices
