Pro Chef Tips:
- For the peanut sauce, to make it nut-free, substitute the peanut butter for sunflower butter, tahini or hemp butter. Sprinkle salad with hemp seeds, sesame seeds or sunflower seeds
- You can also remove the coconut sugar and use Coconut Aminos only.
- Make sure you dry the kale thoroughly after washing. Use a clean towel, salad spinner or paper towel.
We are so excited because we have a new puppy called Macho, he is a big puppy and for a 6-month-old we have to remind our selves that he is not that old. He is an Italian Mastiff and he is so playful, loveable and adorable.
Macho just loves to be around us and I can tell he is not a loner. He is the perfect companion for Daevyd, who looks forward to spending time with his new pet. By the time the day is finished, Daevyd is ready to go to bed.

I will be trying this recipe tonight, it looks and sounds amazing! Congratulations on your puppy! I’ve owned Cane Corso’s for years and they are my absolute favorite breed! I currently have a 2yr old Cane Corso and a 12 week old African Mastiff/Boerboel.
Oh lovely, I hope you enjoy it. You have two loyal puppies, I love Cane Corsos and have read so many good things about a Boerboel, I believe they are at the top of the line of mastiffs. Enjoy them! We now have a Neopolitan mastiff (someone shot our Cane Corso, not sure if I mentioned it in the post) and we also have a Rottweiler. My daughter is home for summer and she brought her shelter puppies. a hound mix and a boxer so we are having lots of fun time with them.
6 enthusiastic thumbs up in our house! Tried this tonight for a lite dinner after eating out for lunch. My non-salad-eating family both really enjoyed this! Another winning recipe from Healthier Steps!! Yum!

I LOVE this salad. I have made it several times. I am making it again today. The flavors blend well. It’s colorful and sooo delicious. I even have added shredded carrots to mine. I have now started to make it ahead of time to eat over a couple of days. Quite tasty. Another winner for sure.
