This post is all about Vegan Asian Kale Watermelon Salad
The Easiest Salad to Throw Together
This salad is super simple to throw together and you can use literally any veggies you’d like. The main key is to add the watermelon for that pop of refreshing sweetness. I know it sounds really weird but it’s so good.
Use any vegetables you like
I used some of the veggies I had on hand like radishes, carrots, and zoodled zucchini. You can of course change any of these with something you like better. Snap peas and mushrooms would be amazing for sure. Let me know if you’re brave enough to try this and what you think. I’ve been eating this everyday this week and I’m still loving it.

Mmmm, this looks so good! I’ll have to try it. We grew at least 500 watermelons on our farm this summer and we’ve been eating them nearly every day since July! Odd, though – I personally don’t seem to get tired of watermelon. It’s my favorite fruit! For those who are allergic to peanuts, would you suggest tahini or cashew butter as a replacement?
That sounds like a paradise to have so many melons, yum! And yes, any nut or seed butter could be used in place of the peanut butter. Thank you so much for stopping by. 😉
