WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASED QUOTE
Stop worrying about dieting. Just eat whole foods that come out of the earth and not the foods that fertilize it. Ken Carlile, Blogger at www.ieatplants.com

Sometimes you've just got to "keep it simple stupid".  It was still really hot at dinner time and I didn't feel like adding fuel to the heat by using the oven or stove.  On top of that I was just craving a really big salad.  Funny thing about this salad; in the past this would have been added as a side dish for about 6 people....but no, just me.

1 head romaine lettuce, cleaned and chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 medium sized cucumber, peel on or off, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup brine soaked and rinsed kalamata olives, chopped (not the kind packed in olive oil)
1 whole red bell pepper (love my summer garden) chopped
1 cup chickpeas cooked or canned (aka garbanzo beans)
1 large tomato, chopped
2 cups cooked kale chopped

Ken's 2-Of Salad Dressing

2 tbl of Ken's Aioli or Mayo
2 tbl of dijon mustard
2 oz. of apple cider vinegar
2 oz. of rice wine vinegar
2 tsp of herbs de provence
2 pinches of sea salt
2 grinds of black pepper
Shake vigorously twice and enjoy

  3. Thanks KriO'B . I think the Kale steamed just tastes better, though you can do it raw but I would cut out the rib of the kale in that case. I leave most of it in when I steam.
