How was your Valentine’s Day weekend?

Mine was super chill. And I mean that literally. Because it was, on average, 0º F this weekend in Connecticut. And that’s not even accounting for the wind chill that pushed temps to what felt like -17º!


But what was perhaps even more surprising than the fact that I made it out of this weekend alive is that it’s already mid-February. What? Wasn’t Christmas like, yesterday?

I was checking my calendar this weekend when I realized that I will be home for my incredibly long spring break in less than 3 weeks. I can’t believe how quickly time is flying!

My favorite part of being home on break is making kale salads. Also, like, seeing my family is pretty cool too. But mostly kale salads. As I’ve mentioned before, there is a dearth of kale on the Wesleyan campus. And so you can bet when I head home for spring break shortly, I will be eating kale in disturbingly large portions.

Beginning with this Greek salad! Simple Greek flavors are tossed with leafy chopped kale and a spicy and earthy turmeric and tahini dressing. This salad is vegan, but vegetarians? A handful of feta would be amazing crumbled over this salad. Enjoy!
