Beauty Detox Power: SHIVA’S KALE SALAD WITH ALMOND-GINGER DRESSING

The Beauty Detox Power is like 2 books in one! 3/4 of the book contains life-changing new information which will shift your perspective about the role of food in wellness forever. I teach you all the factors involved in achieving and maintaining your ideal weight, to give you back control over how you look and feel.

We are complex beings, and just looking to oversimplify what affects our weight and health leads to long-term frustration and misery!

Hint: these other factors involve your second brain/gut (and what you can do to balance it beyond just food), and the formative ways that your thoughts and words actually change your body.

I include a lot of fascinating new research in this book, which is going to burst your current perspective on weight, health and beauty (in an incredibly good and empowering way!).

There are also over 60 new recipes that are not categorized by appetizers, entrées and desserts but rather by remedies for feeling better.

This blogs recipe comes from the Green/Anahata recipe section of the book and is called Shiva’s Kale Salad With Almond – Ginger Dressing. Colors are vibration, and help balance the vibration of specific energies in our own body.

The green of this dish helps balance emotional energies and can enhance feeling more compassionate, which the high content of folate, B and other vitamins and minerals, have a stress-reducing, calming effect and help nourish cardiovascular health.

What you eat has an effect not just on your physical body, but on your mental and emotional state as well.  And your mind and emotions have an enormous effect on your health and weight.

I hope you enjoy making my Shiva’s Kale Salad. It’s a tasty one.

SHIVA’S KALE SALAD WITH ALMOND-GINGER DRESSING

Yield: 4 servings, or 2/3 cup of dressing

I’ve been making and promoting the popular Dharma’s Kale Salad recipe in The Beauty Detox Solution for years. Here is another favorite kale salad of mine.

Kale, ginger, almond butter from pressed almonds—all these foods are amid the bounty of nature that is provided for us. All we have to do is partake of these natural, perfect foods to feel more connected to our oneness with nature.

SALAD INGREDIENTS

1⁄2 pound curly kale
(one large bunch or
2 smaller bunches), torn into bite-size pieces

1⁄2 cup thinly sliced red onion

DRESSING INGREDIENTS

1⁄3 cup filtered water

3 tablespoons almond butter (preferably raw)

11⁄2 tablespoons organic miso paste (preferably mellow white)

11⁄2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

1 tablespoon honey (preferably raw), coconut nectar or maple syrup or 1⁄2 teaspoon stevia

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1⁄2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

Sea salt, to taste (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

• Toss together the kale and the onions in a large salad bowl and set aside.
• Combine all the dressing ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Pour the dressing over the re- served kale salad and toss it well to coat. Next, add in your love and good energy for those about to eat your salad. Serve the salad at once.

NOTE: Feel free to add to this salad any other veggies you like, such as a generous amount of sprouts, as I usually do.
