What exactly is a “cancer-fighting” food? Well, it’s any food that promotes healthier overall cell function, which can reduce cancer cell growth. The food we eat breaks down into macronutrients and micronutrients which provide fuel for our cells. While all cells need fuel to function, certain fuels have properties that can help fight cancer.

Directions

DRESSING PREP:

  1. Wrap a damp cloth around the base of a large mixing bowl. Add the egg yolks.
  2. Whisk the yolks until they are broken apart. While whisking, add the olive oil very slowly. The batter should be smooth.
  3. Continue whisking while slowly adding lemon juice, anchovy paste, miso paste, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until all ingredients are fully combined for a thin, creamy consistency.
  4. Cool dressing in refrigerator.

 

SALAD PREP:

  1. Prepare the cashews: Heat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a medium bowl, mix cashews, olive oil, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Pour mixture onto baking sheet, forming an even layer.
  2. Bake for 10 minutes (or until cashews are lightly browned). Let cashews cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  3. In a large salad bowl, mix chopped kale, onions, avocado, and roasted cashews.
  4. Pour dressing onto the mixture and combine. Serve immediately.

 

NOTE: Leftover dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
