I made this meal this week. Its collard greens, quinoa, mushrooms and walnuts, tomatoes, nori seaweed, sundried tomatoes, and coconut aminos. Mixed it all up and done. For the walnuts and mushrooms I pulsed them with a food processor and then seasoned them before baking them in the oven. Collards…blanched them for one minute. Another simple meal full of wonderful nutrients and filling too. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #collardsalad #collardgreens #summersalads #summermeals #healthylunch #hearthealthy #healthymeals #saladideas #mealideas #easyfood #eattonourish #eatwellbewell #eattherainbow #plantbasedliving #plantpowered #mindbodygreen #tryingtobehealthy #healthyoptions #eatgoodfeelgood #kenyanfoodblogger #veggiestyle #nourishyourself #wellnessblogger #nourishyourbody
