Cheese Date Pineapple Balsamic Kale Salad with Candied Cashews
This super healthy salad is extra nutritious because the vegan cheese is made with sea moss, one of the most mineral-dense foods on the planet, along with mineral-rich dates, kale, spiced cashews and enzyme-rich pineapple, making this a bonanza of taste and nutrition. This is just one example of the amazing healthy recipes in our cookbook “Love on a Plate” which can be found at www.HealthyCookbook.com
