A colorful Southwestern Kale salad filled with flavor and nutrients. Boring salads be gone!
Ingredients
Salad
  • 1 Bunch Curly Kale, Stems Removed
  • ½ C. Red Bell Pepper, Chopped
  • ½ C. Yellow Corn (you can use frozen as long as you thaw it out before hand)
  • ½ C. Cooked Black Beans
  • ¼ C. Red Onion, Diced
  • 3-4 T. Roasted Salted Pepitas
  • Optional: 1-2 T. Fresh Jalapeno, Diced
  • Cilantro for Garnish
Creamy Avocado Cilantro Dressing
  • ¾ C. Avocado, Mashed
  • ⅓ C. Fresh Cilantro
  • ¼ C. Water
  • 3 T. Lime Juice
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp. Agave Nectar
  • Salt to taste
OR Chipotle Tahini Dressing (approx.)
  • ⅓ C. Tahini
  • 3 T. Water
  • 3 T. Vegan Mayo
  • 2 tsp. Lime Juice
  • ½ tsp. Liquid Smoke
  • ¼ tsp. Chipotle Powder (or more depending on how hot you want it)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
Salad
  1. Tear the kale leaves into bite-sized pieces and put them in a large bowl.
  2. Depending on what dressing you use, place all ingredients (for that dressing) in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the kale and knead/massage the dressing into the leaves so that they are coated evenly and reduce in size.
  4. Next, take all of the toppings and add them to the bowl, tossing lightly. I like to mix in half and then top with half, or else it all ends up at the bottom of the bowl.
  5. Top with cilantro, and a few cubes of avocado if you're a fiend, like me. Serve chilled as a small starter salad or 3-4 large portions for an entree.

Regardless what you choose to do in life be consistent. The path and journey you choose has to be one that ignites passion. When I started my coaching business I never imagined I would be where I am today. I never imagined I would be helping people change their lives and helping them reach their goals in fitness. I have taken on a new challenge and now i want to help women find a way to live a better life. Maybe you are looking for an opportunity and you want to stop living pay check to paycheck or you want to give your family a better life, vacation, college or retirement. When I started out I just wanted to make some extra cash and be able to work outside the home part time so I could be there for my kids when they got home from school but still bring in some income. Now that I have new goals, I want to help others do the same and regardless how much you want to make or add to your pocket. I know it is possible. You can work this coaching business 1 hour a day or on weekends. Their ...

Hello my name is Christine Chowning and I am excited to offer my new group for women who are 40 and over. This is a 5-day FREE group and I am looking for women who are serious and ready to commit to 5 days of change. Please read below before you say you are interested.  Weight gain sucks and when we reach the age of 40 it sucks even more. We all seem to think that it is impossible to lose weight during menopause. I am here to tell you that you are wrong. If you are committed, you don’t give up and you are not looking for a quick fix then I can help you. Several factors play a role in weight gain around menopause, including: Hormone fluctuation, loss of muscle mass, inadequate sleep, and increased insuli n resistance. And fat storage starts to shift from the hips and thighs to the abdomen during menopause. There are several other signs like hot flashes, mood swings. But I am here to tell you that you can combat these challenges. You may not feel motivated but regula...
