Green is Gorgeous

Here is one of the yummy healthy salad recipes I promised. I hope this helps get the “more veggies” thing going for you.

Curly kale is best when in season. Right now you can still find the nice soft curly stuff.
When the leaves feel hard and tough (see two images below), just switch to “lacinto” or “dinosaur” kale which is the kind with the long straighter leaves.

I go into detail below for your ease of understanding, but don’t be fooled - it only takes about 7 minutes to make this yummy little salad.
The increase in nutrition over a regular lettuce salad is huge. (See nutritional info at the bottom of this post)

For a quick single serving of your hearty green kale salad:
Use one very big or 2 or 3 small curly kale leaves
OR
approximately 3 large to 6 small lacinto kale leaves

Cut them up into small bite size pieces and put in your large salad bowl that you will be eating out of.

Make your simple dressing:
One pinch of cayenne pepper
Juice of 1/2  lime or meyer lemon
3-4 tablespoons of olive oil (enough to make salad nice and moist)
Salt to taste (use good quality natural salts rather than commercial processed salts)
