Vegan Kale BBQ Taco Salad

Vegan Kale BBQ Taco Salad

Today I have 2 awesome recipes for you: Vegan BBQ Kale Taco Salad and low carb vegan peanut butter fudge.

We’ve been having a heat wave in Victoria, BC this past week. In fact we’ve broken heat records across Canada! I feel like I’m in Bali again. It’s been hitting 36C (97F). Since temperatures are usually more temperate here, most people don’t have air conditioning – including me.

I’ve been spending lots of time near the ocean, eating plenty of ice cream, drinking smoothies, and eating fruit.



It’s too darn hot to cook so cold foods are IN right now. My BBQ Kale Taco salad is perfect for summer. It’s bursting with flavour, is super fresh, and has all the textures. I hope you give it a try!
