Peach & Strawberry Kale Salad – 450 cal

**Disclaimer**: The recipe is orginally made with real chicken, but **my version is vegan.** As mentioned in the recipe below, I use [Sweet Earth vegan chicken](https://www.goodnes.com/sweet-earth/products/mindful-chikn/).

I saw this salad on [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@violet.cooks/video/6996455275834117382) and have been hooked on it since. But, it kept coming out to about 600-800 calories, so I wanted to make a 1200 Cal diet friendly version. Finally struck the right balance of ingredients! The actual recipe is on the creator’s [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/violetwitchel/?hl=en), but I’ll write it out the measurements I use for 1 serving:
