| pomegranate, kale & quinoa salad. |
Lessons that I've learned this week. Don't casually tell people that you have a "quivery liver". They become alarmed. Similarly, don't tell people that you are having liver salad. They become disgusted (unless they are my grandmother and think liver and onions are just the greatest thing).
After a trip to the emergency room a few weeks ago and some blood work it seems that my liver isn't quite itself. My doctor isn't quite sure why. So until my next doctor's appointment I decided to self diagnose (with the help of google): "quivery liver". Treatment: eat lots of kale and other liver friendly foods such as beets, blueberries, etc..
Even if you aren't a kale lover this salad is worth a try because who doesn't love blueberries, pomegranate, pepitas, hemp hearts, beets, balsamic vinegar & maple syrup. Yum!
Salad
(serves 4-6 kale lovers)
1 bunch dinosaur kale (chopped into small pieces...think Edward Scissor Hands)
1/2 C chopped fresh parsley
2 small beets shredded
1 C fresh blueberries
1 1/2 C pomegranate seeds
2 C cooked red and white quinoa (any colour will do)
1/4 C toasted pepitas
2 T hemp hearts
Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
Dressing
1/4 C olive oil
1/4 C white balsamic vinegar
1T maple syrup
Whisk all dressing ingredients together and drizzle over kale salad. The longer the salad sits the more delicious it becomes.
