I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Dan and I were in Shenandoah Valley for an absolutely love-filled wedding for our friends,\u00a0so we had quite the weekend of fun and travel.<\/p>\n

We are still in the midst of the kitchen repairs I mentioned in this post<\/a> last week, but I've welcomed a more positive, go-with-the-flow attitude. We'll likely have a half-functional kitchen for a few more weeks, but there's no sense fretting about something that is almost completely out of my control.<\/p>\n

Plus, there's something slightly entertaining about having two huge cabinets sitting in the middle of your living room. I even found Jack, our orange tabby cat\/dog (he's seriously more like a dog than a cat), curled up\u00a0in the drawer that's reserved for my photo prop napkins. Nothing an extra load of laundry can't take care of and totally worth it for the cuteness factor.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the most important corner of our kitchen (i.e., the part that houses our sink, oven, stove, and refrigerator) is fully functional, so I can still cook or chop my way to healthy, energizing meals like this Detoxifying\u00a0Greek Salad with Kale & Cauliflower \"Feta\".<\/p>\n

Simple salads are often lackluster and a bit boring. However, this salad boasts both simplicity and flavor, not to mention major crunch appeal.<\/p>\n

Chopped dino kale, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, kalamata olives, and pine nuts are tossed in a tangy vinaigrette and topped with \"feta\" cheese. The \"feta\" is made by grating cauliflower and marinating it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. The result lends a\u00a0salty-tangy flavor that is\u00a0comparable to feta cheese yet light and detoxifying.<\/p>\n

Unlike a traditional Greek Salad, this one can be tossed in dressing and saved for later because kale is such a sturdy, durable green.<\/p>\n

I tossed everything together around 6am one morning last week and enjoyed the salad for lunch at work nearly six hours later, and it still packed a crunchy bite. Plus, as I've mentioned before<\/a>, a little marinating does a bed of dark leafy greens good as they gently\u00a0wilt and soak up lots of flavor. That being said, this salad is equally delicious enjoyed immediately after making. Energizing, detoxifying, and packed with flavorful, healthy goodness.<\/p>\n
