I’ve talked about my leg injury a few times. I’ve been released from physical therapy now! Yippie! And, I’m back to running again! So awesome!

Eating anti-inflammatory foods can help with arthritis or with healing a leg injury, and anti inflammatory salads are a great way to boost your health and immunity while eating something super delicious.

Kale is a great anti-inflammatory food, and it’s delicious!

This salad also happens to be vegan and gluten-free, naturally!

My leg still twitches from time to time; I think the alien inside my leg is trying to wake up. But at least it doesn’t hurt anymore. And, I figure all that twitching and stuff will go away entirely eventually. I hope I hope!

KALE SALAD: WHAT I’M CALLING THE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SALAD. SUPER YUM!

My leg injury inspired me

But one thing the injury did for me was make me decide to go research anti-inflammatory foods.

Actually, the idea came to me from a friend at Living the Healthier Life, who talked about eating anti-inflammatory foods to help with arthritis.

So, I went off and did a little research myself and decided to throw all these foods into a big healthy salad.

It’s amazingly delicious. I don’t always add the same ingredients to my salad now, but if you have the time, go with all of these. So yummy and good for you!

Unusual ingredients

There are a couple of ingredients in there that are a little unusual. Like the Seaweed.

Seaweed snacks

I found these {affiliate link} Annie Chun’s Seaweed Snacks at the store, and decided to give it a try.

Take one sheet and crumble it into the salad.

I like the strong umami flavor (that’s right, I said umami!) that the seaweed gives to the salad. If you’re up for an adventure, give it a try.

Marcona Almonds

The other ingredient that may seem a bit unusual are the marcona almonds.

I love these and keep them around the house all the time to toss into salads or just to snack on.

They’re a Spanish almond that’s just a bit bigger than other almonds. And, their flavor is a little sweeter than regular almonds.

Kale salad for a baby shower

BTW, if you haven’t tried Kale yet, do yourself a favor, go try it!

That’s why I decided to serve a kale salad at the baby shower, so a few more people would try it! And, just look at all those pretty colors!

    If you google nightshade and arthritis, you may find that blueberries are a member of the nightshade family, and nightshade is bad for arthritis. I avoid all nightshade plant now, and my hip arthritis is only half of what it was a year ago.

    BTW, google “Detox salad” I eat a version of that every day. I run everything thru the grating blade of a $25 food processor. It even makes the kale stems edible. No need to pay extra for broccoli crowns either. Just grind up the whole stem. I have added a bit of ginger, turmeric, and a half cup of walnuts to my recipe.

    Interesting. The things that plants are capable of … health, healing, flavor, is just amazing. It’s funny that blueberries would be considered such an anti-inflammatory if nightshade is bad for arthritis. I’m not sure I could give up tomatoes for good! LOL! And, your Detox Salad sounds great! I do something like that with the broccoli stems, but I do it by hand; I love the food processor, so I’ll have to try that! Thanks!
