Summer is HERE and I am LOVING this HOT weather! Pool days, beach trips, outdoor grilling, hiking in the mountains, WHAT’S BETTER! Comment below with your favorite thing(s) to do in the summer!
Along with outdoor activities, cooking occupies much of my attention in the warm months. Pies, salads, veggies….. those refreshing fruit and vegetable flavors are AMAZING! Recently, one of my favorite food creations is this plant-based, Gluten-free & Vegan Kale Salad with carrots, beets, peppers and refreshing lemon dressing.
It’s easy to make for lunch, dinner, appetizer, or as a pairing during Summer parties!
