Kale Salad With Dried Fruits and Nuts
"This serves 2 as a main dish but I frequently use it as a side for 4 servings. It is based on a recipe from "Wild About Greens" by Nava Atlas with a few changes so it better fits our Nutritarian eating style. The mix of the tart lemon juice and sweetness of the agave nectar make a simple and delicious dressing. Massaging the kale softens it for a delicious salad green."

In 2011, I saw a PBS Special, 3 Steps to Incredible Health by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It inspired me to change to a Nutritarian cooking style, which focuses on the nutrient density of the foods you eat.
Since that time, I have been collecting recipes. I have found a few recipes ready to go but most of them were either too complicated for everyday use or needed some changes to fit with this eating style.
