Raw Vegan Glorious Green Salad With Crispy Kale Chips
If you have ever tried dehydrated kale chips, you get the hype. They are so damn good! Especially these raw flavoured ones from Pure Snack. I love to eat them on their own, or sprinkle them on top of a green salad for some extra flavour and crunch. This salad is raw, vegan, oil free, gluten free, fresh, and delicious! My all-time favourite flavour from this kale chip collection is the dill & onion flavour- dill is one of my most loved herbs.

Ingredients
3 cups romaine lettuce
2 cups spinach
1 whole tomato mandolin sliced
1/2 capsicum mandolin sliced
1 cup minced coriander
1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
1/2 an avocado
1 box of Pure Snack Probiotic Kale Chips (all flavours would go well with this recipe- I chose dill & onion)
juice of 1 whole lime
Optional- spice mix- Himalayan salt, pepper, garlic powder, chilli
1 tbsp of 'Pimp my Salad' Activated Super Seeds Sprinkles
Method
Wash & rinse all of your produce in 11.5pH Kangen water to remove any pesticides or herbicides (yes- organic produce is still sprayed ya'll!).
Chop up the lettuce & spinach in a large bowl, and then add the sliced tomato, capsicum, and coriander. Mix it all together well. Add your avocado and alfalfa sprouts last.
Squeeze the juice of your lime all over the salad as a dressing, and massage in. You can also add a crack of Himalyan salt, pepper, garlic powder & chilli, but this is optional.
Add as many kale chips as you'd like on top to decorate! I hid some kale chips underneath the salad, for a surprise crunch, and put them on top too :)
I also added some of the 'Pimp My Salad' Activated Super Seeds Sprinkles on top of the salad for more flavour & crunch!
E N J O Y !
Pure Snack Probiotic Kale Chips
All of the Pure Snack kale chips are raw and never baked. They dehydrate the chips at 43°C for 14 hours, so all nutrients and vitamins are preserved and intact. In terms of nutritional value and goodness it's as good as fresh kale. The only difference is, kale chips are much tastier and have a lovely crunch!
Pure Snack offer 3 flavours in their raw kale chip range- these include Cashew Vegan Cheese, Dill and Onion, and Garlic and Spices. I love them all and enjoy them with different recipes or on their own as a crunchy raw snack! Serve them with your favourite dips, crush them to top your salad or soup, enjoy them alongside your veggie burger, pack them on your next picnic adventure, or keep them close in the car as a tasty raw vegan snack. Kale chips are as nutrient dense as fresh kale – and more enjoyable than any processed snacks you’ll find at the shops!
Most 'healthy' chips or vegan snacks that you'll see in the health food aisle of the grocery store or in a organic food shop have a multitude of hidden nasties like sunflower oil, 'natural flavours' (which are actually chemicalised and not natural at all), preservatives, citric acid, and various 'agents'. Guys- we don't want any of that in our bodies! Pure Snack never uses any of these sneaky ingredients in their food, which I am deeply grateful for.
Flavour breakdown...
Kale Chips with Cashew Vegan Cheese
This flavour is cheesy and nutty with a hint of sweetness and plant based probiotics, Kale Chips with Cashew Vegan Cheese is an irresistibly yummy snack and a great way to get your kids (and yourself) to eat more kale! This flavour kale chip would pair perfectly with a vegan Mexican bowl or upon a warming raw soup.
Kale Chips with Dill and Onion (my fav!)
Nice and light, with a unique dilly aftertaste, Kale Chips with Dill and Onion are the perfect choice for those who want a nut free, but a hearty and flavourful vegan snack. I love these upon salads, or on a beautiful raw vegan platter spread.
Kale Chips with Garlic and Spices.
Flavoured with zesty garlic and just the right amount of cayenne, Kale Chips with Garlic and Spices are a spice lover’s first choice. These pair great with a spicy kelp noodle pad-thai!

I added a sprinkle of the super seeds on this green salad recipe- and it added a lovely crunchy texture amongst the softer ingredients.
