Erewhon-Style Kale & White Bean Salad | plantbaes (1)

I absolutely loved it! It’s so easy, requires no cooking, tastes amazing, and has a variety of textures. It’s packed with healthy fats and is a very satisfying salad option with 22 g of protein. It contains many nutrients, including substantial amounts of vitamin C, vitamin K, magnesium, and iron. It’s definitely earned a spot in my meal rotation.

As always, serving sizes are estimates and do not reflect the amount you should eat or the amount of food appropriate for your individualized needs.
