There is power in food.
The right foods can heal us and the wrong foods can make us sick. Fresh, plant-based foods can nourish your body, calm your cravings, energize you and at the same time provide you with mouthwatering flavours.

- 1 large head of kale stems removed, and leaves finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1/2 lemon juiced

DRESSING:
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 celery stalk roughly chopped
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1/4 cup hemp hearts
- 1 tsp coconut aminos or gluten-free tamari

Instructions
- In a large bowl, sprinkle salt over the kale, then gently massage with your hands until the kale wilts, about 3-5 minutes. Add lemon juice, massage again for another minute. Add bell peppers and tomatoes and toss. In a blender, process all the dressing ingredients until creamy. Pour over the kale mixture, toss well and serve.
