Morning!

Tuesday was Summer Solstice and all I can conjure up these days are Swedes sacrificing Florence Pugh in Midsommar. It’s the day that receives the most amount of light in the northern hemisphere. It also happened to be one of the hottest days of this week. It reached, what felt like low 40s. I felt like I was bathing in hot, thick, toxic air.

When the days are long and the climate is cruel, you might be keen to grab some non-dairy ice cream. An iced jasmine bubble tea (low-sugar or no sugar). Or even a nice glass of white wine. Instead, might I suggest: The Salad. The salad is low effort and high reward. It essentially comes together in one bowl. It’s salty, bright, “cheesy”, tangy, raw, cold, fresh and crunchy. It’s satiating and filling. Your bowels will thank you. No bloating either. It’s really just a kale with tofu.

But it’s that good.
