Kale is very high in calcium and makes an excellent calcium alternative. There are many recipes and variations on raw Kale salads. . Here is one of my favourites
Salad
8-10 big kale leaves, de-stemmed, washed and cut into small pieces
1 orange or red pepper, diced
1 golden beet, grated
1 large carrot, grated
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
1- 2 cups assorted sprouts, roughly chopped
1 avocado, pitted and flesh cut into small slices
Dressing:
2 tablespoons olive oil, 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon, pinch Celtic sea salt
Put chopped kale in a big bow, pour the dressing over the kale and massage with your hands for 2-5 minutes until the kale ‘wilts’. It will reduce down to about half the size.
Add 1 tbsp pure maple syrup and stir it through the kale
Top with all the other veggies and voila, kale salad.
You can add in sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts etc.
