Roasted Kale Salad w/ Easy Hummus Dressing {oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.com #kale #hummus #kalesalad #30daysofgreen #healthychallenge #easyvegan #kalehackI know that it may be difficult for some to eat raw kale in a salad as it naturally has a slightly bitter flavor, but a great way to serve it if that is the case is to roast it first! Not only does it add a new layer of texture to this salad, it brings out a whole new flavor in the kale. I made this recipe in collaboration with PlantPure Communities, a nonprofit organization that was formed partly as an outgrowth of the 2015 hit movie PlantPure Nation directed by Nelson Campbell. In order to celebrate Earth Day, they have created a 30 day challenge to eat leafy greens every day of the month of April called #30daysofgreen. #30DaysofGreen Challenge sweetsimplevegan.comPart of their work is to raise awareness about nutrition research, much of which was led by Nelson’s father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell in the book The China Study, and they strive to promote the benefits of a whole food, plant-based lifestyle in a way that is accessible to a diverse audience. Their social media challenge will provide everything from recipes and nutritional information to cooking tips and health advice–all relating back to the importance of daily greens!

JACKFRUITHUMMUS13When visiting the LA Wholesale Produce District, I make sure to try and visit Greenfield Imports to see if I can pick up a jackfruit. After opening and cleaning the fruit, a myriad of jackfruit seeds always remains. For a while, I was boiling them to enjoy with salads or as a snack, but a girl could only eat so much and they grew unenjoyable after the fourth or fifth jackfruit I had brought home. I started to compost, and even just dispose of the seeds, but felt guilty after doing so and knew that there needed to be another way to make use of these. After brainstorming a few ideas with my auntie, this recipe was born and I had to share it with you all as soon as I could.
