Oh Kale Yeah, You Don't Want To Miss This Salad.

Every time I go to San Diego for Sports Medicine Acupuncture training, I eat lunch every day at Ocean Beach People's Food Coop.  Their deli is an homage to California vegetarian food - the cuisine that started the "fad" for healthy, fresh, plant-based dishes that is so popular everywhere now.  When you go to People's you know that you can get fresh whole-food vegan meals, with plenty of vegetables.  One of my favorite dishes to see available in their deli case is the Almond Kale Supreme.. it is a rich, creamy kale salad with plenty of crunch!  It goes with just about everything, and I simply can't resist it whenever it is there.  The people at People's were kind enough to share their recipe for Almond Kale Supreme, I hope you enjoy it too!  

p.s. the cooler weather is the perfect time to use kale.. it gets sweeter when it's colder out!
