This Avocado Kale and Kelp Salad is incredibly delicious and highly alkaline. Kale and avocado are 2 of the most alkaline foods you can eat. Kelp noodles are full of minerals like magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron. I am having lots of fun and eating great food as I create recipes for the spring. This recipe is one I came up with the other day and I totally love it.
My intention is to make recipes that are easy and delicious. One of the biggest problems I hear from my clients is they don’t have time to make healthy food. So I created this one is which is super easy, you can make it in 5 minutes. If you put together a repertoire of healthy dishes you can make in under 15 minutes you are more likely to eat a healthy meal.
Health Benefits of This Kale Salad
The kelp noodles are full of minerals which buffer the acids in your system. I am always focused on eating alkaline food to keep my body’s pH neutral or slightly alkaline. Your body regularly deals with naturally occurring acids that are by-products of respiration, metabolism, cellular breakdown, and exercise. You can find out more about kelp noodles in the article on my blog.
Kale is a superfood also full of vitamins, minerals which are alkalinizing. It is one of the top 5 of Whole Foods ANDI score which rates the nutrient density of foods on a scale of 1 to 1000.
Avocados are full of good fat with tons of nutritional benefits. They are an excellent source of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant. Glutathione helps maintain a healthy immune system and slows the aging process.
Sauerkraut is full of probiotics which feed the good bacteria in your gut improving your digestion.
Lemons add bright flavor and are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants. Also help reduce acids. Read more about the health benefits of lemon here.
Ingredients
There are only 6 ingredients for this salad. They can be found in your local health foods store.
- avocado
- kelp noodles
- kale, stems removed and very thinly sliced (lacinato is best but curly is fine, be sure you slice it really thin)
- fresh sauerkraut, from the refrigerator section
- carrot, julienned or shredded
- lemon
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
Variations
- If you can’t find the kelp noodles make the dish with 2 cups of cabbage, very thinly slice. It will be delicious and nutritious too.
- If you don’t have any raw sauerkraut you can leave it out. I like to make recipes with raw sauerkraut to get the live probiotics into my system to build good intestinal flora. The recipe is great either way.
