My Macam Macam Salad

It has been ages since I made myself a salad. I have been very naughty lately, eating out instead of prepping my own lunch. Tsk!

I blame this on Champ's awesome chee yoke fun. Behold my latest transgression, lunch last Friday.

Gah! So anyway, I tried to make up for it by eating somewhat healthy on Friday evening.

All this unhealthy stuff has got to stop because I have been resorting to wearing my fat pants again. Yup, the ones with the stretchy waistband (which is great to wear during makan sessions heh...heh...).

So I told myself that I would fix me a big salad on Sunday to atone for all my gastronomic sins.

There's all sorts of vegetables in there - broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, onion, chickpeas and a new found vegetable - kale, inspired by the kale salad that my partner had at Goodness Greens during one of our visits.

My partner's favorite at Goodness Greens.

Kale is quite tough so apparently, you need to massage it first to soften the leaves or else you will end up chewing like a cow.

That happened to me recently when I tapau salad from Salad Atelier and chose kale as my base. Adoi! So chewy that after my meal, I took some probiotics because I reckon the bacteria would love it and thrive hee..hee...hee...

For the salad dressing, I used the one I made here which so far, is my favorite. Here's to more salads from now on!
