Kale Salad Filled Peppers with Raw Broccoli Salad

This Kale Salad was such a hit with my family a few weeks ago that I decided to fill it into peppers.  Very tasty!

Kale Salad Filled Peppers

Serves 6

1/3 cup sesame oil
2 T tamari
1 bunch kale, chopped
3/4 cup coconut
3/4 cup walnuts
1/2 cup edamame
2 cups cooked brown rice
6 multi-colored bell peppers
1 cup chicken stock

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a jar add sesame oil and tamari.  Place lid on jar and shake until well blended.

In a bowl add kale coconut walnuts and edamame.  Drizzle 2/3'rds of oil and tamari and toss gently.  Place kale onto a sheet pan.  Roast in oven for 15 minutes.

Add kale mixture to cooked rice.  Add the remaining of the oil and tamari dressing.  Toss gently.

Slice tops off of the peppers and remove seeds and membranes.   Add kale mixture to the inside of each pepper.  Place the tops back on loosely.  Place stuffed peppers into a casserole dish and pour about 1 cup of chicken stock in the bottom of the dish.  Cover with parchment paper and then another layer of aluminum foil.  Bake for 40 minutes.  Uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until peppers are tender and filling is hot.

Serve hot.

Kale Salad

Kale Salad w/Coconut Chicken
Tonight I made the Kale Salad from Heidi Swanson's new cookbook "Super Natural Every Day".  I HIGHLY recommend this recipe.  I added toasted walnuts and coconut chicken for a complete meal but it's totally optional.  

I was testing out this recipe for our graduation.  We're making about 10 hors d'oeuvres and thought we would stuff mushrooms with this salad and top it with a little parmesan cheese.  Broiled to perfection!

Did you know that Kale is one of the most nutrient dense veggies on the planet!  Check out this web site for more details...
