Start with the spread, especially if you are not starting from using leftovers of the Braised Fennel, Turnips & White Beans. Prepare the crackers while everything is braising. Prepare and toss the Kale Salad. This meal is great to take on the go, because the ingredients each hold up nicely during transport.

Turnips & fennel are braised until soft and packed with flavor. They are then pureed into spreadable goodness with white beans, nuts & cheese. The easiest way to make this is to start with leftovers of the Braised Fennel, Turnips & White Beans. Simply double the recipe, blend and a spread will be ready for lunches and snacks.

Almond-Herb Crackers

Fresh herbs peek out through the almonds in little bursts of flavor. Almond meal or almond flour will both work for these quick, protein dense little crackers. These are inspired by Elana’s Pantry’s gorgeous almond crackers.

Creamy Ginger Kale Salad

This creamy, bright with ginger dressing coats shreds of kale. Add a handful of nuts to complete the package. A fine microplane grater helps when shredding the ginger and the lemon zest. If using the microplane for the ginger, use half of the amount. The juicy shreds are potent! Start with about a 1 inch piece of ginger. If you do not have a microplane you can peel the lemon and finely mince the ginger. A blender will help get the job done as well.
