Poppy Seed Kale & Swiss Chard Salad

A couple weeks ago Keith started having some trouble with his stomach. Whenever he ate anything too flavorful, too fatty, or whenever he ate too much, he would get severe stomach aches in the middle of the night. Yes, only in the middle of the night, for some reason. Even if he was fine all day, it would wake him up around midnight and lasts for about 2-3 hours.

After that persisted for a few days, we had to make a change to our diet. We reduced 80% of our meat intake and made sure he doesn't ever get too full. We started experimenting more with vegetarian dishes, and one of the dishes we made was this Poppy Seed Kale & Swiss Chard Salad. It was delicious and we hope you enjoy it too!


Ingredients:
  • 2 leaves of kale
  • 2 leaves of red Swiss chard
  • Half a hand full of golden raisins
  • Half a hand full of unsalted almonds
  • Half a hand full of shredded carrots
  • Half a hand full of shredded cucumbers
  • 3 tbsp. of poppy seed dressing
  • 1 tbsp. of flaked goat cheese (we used blueberry goat cheese)
Directions:
  1. Chop kale and chard into small thin slices.
  2. Crush almonds in mortar.
  3. Combine all the ingredients in a salad bowl. We like to freeze our goat cheese as it makes it easier to flake with a fork.
  4. Mix in dressing
