Ever since I was first introduced to the idea of eating kale in salads, (like this Baby Kale Salad with Pomegranate and Spicy Candied Pecans) as opposed to eating it steamed or sautéed to a generally icky mess, I have totally fallen in love. This is more than just a crush. Seriously, I could eat kale salad every day. READ MORE: Sweet and Spicy Sautéed Kale Stems And broccoli stems … ya, I know they seem boring and I bet you usually chop them off and toss them into the garbage, right? Don’t feel bad, I used to do that, too. Next time you’re making a salad (like this one!) try chopping them up and adding them to the mix. They’ll add a lot of crunch, kind of like celery. The coconut oil is key to this salad. It adds an unexpected and summery flavor to an otherwise simple salad. There is a fair bit of sweetness in this salad, which helps balance the bitterness of the kale and broccoli. I think any of summer’s fresh berries would work well if you don’t have blueberries.
