September = the bridge between Summer and Fall
There is something comforting about this time when we shift into a crisper morning and add some warming spices and flavours on our plates. We're not totally done with those hot days, but we are starting to lean into the cozy welcome Fall feels.
This Fig, Plum and Kale Salad is a perfect "bridge" dish, light enough for a warm summer night eating al fresco.
Kale is a nutritional powerhouse. It is loaded with powerful antioxidants helping to reduce oxidative damage and decrease the risk of chronic diseases. These antioxidants are also anti-inflammatory, boosts immunity, and helps to keep the skin healthy.
If you want to make the recipe a heartier addition to dinner, and still keep it plant based, you can add walnuts, avocado, roasted tofu, or chickpeas.
