ALKALINE DIET RECIPE: GREEN TAHINI KALE SALAD

If you’re craving any food, from chocolate to soda to meat, you most likely need more dark, leafy greens in your diet.

Many food cravings are a sign of a deficiency of minerals like magnesium, and the best way to get back in balance is to eat a big, delicious plate of greens.

This salad is a perfect way to do just that, even if you don’t like kale raw. I’ve got a tip in the recipe for softening it and combined with this tasty tahini dressing, I just know you’re going to love it.

Add in diced bell pepper and tahini dressing, and thoroughly mix with a spoon. Next, add tomatoes, avocado cubes, and sprouts to top. Season with sea salt and pepper, serve and enjoy!
