<h1>The health benefits of basil</h1>
Basil is a spice that many people love and is one of the healthiest herbs that can be added to a diet. Basil is known to have antioxidant properties that protect the body from aging, skin conditions and certain types of cancer. It is rich in magnesium, vitamin K and iron, has antibacterial properties, and has been shown to detoxify the liver. We like to make salad dressings with basil and, of course, some fresh basil sauces. Both dried basil and basil oil share some of the same health benefits, and even have their own benefits.
<h1>Health benefits of avocados</h1>
Avocados are healthy green superfoods that provide monounsaturated essential fatty acids such as omega-6 and 9 that can help lower cholesterol, as well as many other health benefits. Avocados are also a source of vitamin K, which is essential for bone health, and its fiber content makes it ideal for digesting and controlling blood sugar levels. In addition, they contain vitamins C, E and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, pantothenic acid, magnesium and potassium. They also provide lutein and β-carotene, which are great for eye health. Yes, avocados are high in fat, but the healthy fats they contain can help you stay full and satisfied.
Consuming healthy fats, such as those found in avocados and nuts, can help with healthy skin, improve the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals, and help reduce inflammation.
<h1>Antioxidant-rich disease prevention</h1>
In addition to the aromatic basil, you'll also have the famous disease-resistant superfood kale, as well as colorful bell peppers filled with antioxidants. The fat of this salad is a bit high, but it is all the wonderful fat that the human body needs and depends on for survival. Avocados, hemp seeds, and almonds provide essential fatty acids that the body and brain are grateful for. Add in citrus in lemon and you'll have a nutrient-rich salad packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, healthy fats and fiber that's all you need to stay in tip-top shape.
<h1>Vegetarian avocado kale salad</h1>
This delicious avocado salad really doesn't need much explanation, just chop the vegetables, steam the broccoli and kale, make a seasoning, add the avocado and eat it!
<h1>Creamy basil sauce recipes</h1>
You'll love the fresh taste of the creamy basil sauce. The seasoning recipe is made from basil, almonds, lemon juice, salt and pepper, garlic, maple syrup and soft tofu with a super creamy, rich and slightly sweet seasoning that brings salads to life. Many recipes with creamy basil sauce online are made with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, and soft tofu is used in this version. It can also be made with dairy-free plain yogurt or cashew cream instead of tofu.
The original recipe recipe actually required 1/2 cup of olive oil, but that was a bit much more, so we decided to update the recipe to be oil-free. Yogurt, tofu and cashew cream can all be used instead of oil.
<h1>Recipe notes</h1>
This recipe makes 4 large meals, but you can use 6-8 small portions as a side dish.
This salad is suitable for cooking and preparing, but I recommend that you store the seasoning separately and add avocados before serving to keep the salad fresh.
<h1>Recipe substitution</h1>
The recipe is easily customizable according to your preferences and what you have. Here are some of the interchanges you can try:
Use Swiss beets instead of kale
Walnuts, cashews or sunflower seeds are used instead of almonds in seasoning
Coriander is used instead of basil in seasonings
Sprinkle some hemp seeds on top of the salad for some extra protein and omega-3s
Add some chickpeas, roasted tofu or beans to increase protein content
Replace broccoli with cauliflower
You can use any type of vinegar in your basil sauce recipe, try using black vinegar or red wine instead of cider

<h1>raw material</h1>
Creamy basil sauce
1/2 cup raw almonds (70 g)
1/2 cup soft tofu (120 g)
1 cup light fresh basil (30 g)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1.5 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon each of sea salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons of water and add more as needed to adjust the concentration
Avocado kale salad
8 cups lightly packed kale chopped (240 g)
2 cups grated carrots (2 large carrots)
3 cups chopped broccoli, lightly steamed
2 cup zucchini diced
1 red pepper, diced (about 1.5 cups)
1 yellow pepper, diced (about 1.5 cups)
1/2 avocado per serving
<h1>Production process</h1>
There are two options for preparing kale. You can steam it gently or rub it with olive oil to soften it. We choose to steam quickly, add the chopped, washed kale (so still wet) to a large frying pan, cover the pot, and heat for a few minutes. It should soften slightly and appear dark green.
Place the basil sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender and mix until completely smooth and creamy.
Add all the chopped vegetables to the kale.
Pour the seasoning over the kale and vegetables and stir well.
Add 1/2 avocado and some almonds per person.
For vegans, remove garlic, onions, parsley, and related powder products, and if necessary, use fresh celery, oregano, basil, and mint leaves instead.
