This is such a simple, filling and uplifting meal. It has everything, including the rainbow and even the kids will enjoy it. Simply chop and massage your kale with olive oil and Himalayan sea salt. Add some red onion, carrot, yellow pepper, broccoli, raisins, purple garlic, cooked rice/quinoa, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds and mix it all up.
