You may have noticed that today is 7/10, which can only mean one thing: the worldwide celebration of all things cannabis oil! From wax to crumble to honeycomb, cannabis concentrates make up a booming sector of consumption that’s turning medicating on its head.
The good news is you don’t just have to hit the dab rig to experience the benefits of cannabis extracts. Oils can take all sorts of forms, including infused edibles. Because of their ultra-high THC content, it doesn’t take much for a meal to turn into an enlightening culinary experience.
That’s why our Chef Teresa Hansen recommends a conservative approach at first when adding infused vinaigrette to this delicious mediterranean kale salad recipe. You’ll be cooking with shatter and letting the heat from your stove activate the THC in the extract, which sort of makes this the world’s first kale dab!
Enjoy this refreshing, crisp kale salad for a healthy lunch that will set you up perfectly for the rest of your 7/10.
