Easy Delicious OMG Caesar Inspired Kale Salad

wow.  this is something i would easily find myself eating too much of.  maybe it is the fresh garlic...  maybe it is the tangy fresh lemon-ceasar infused with the earthiness of the kale....  its awesome and my whole family went crazy for it!  my preschooler only ate about half of her huge bowl and my hubby gave me a side glance as he quickly claimed it for himself.  yes folks, its that good.




Easy Delicious OMG Caesar Inspired Kale Salad

A bunch of kale, torn up and clean- a large bowl full works
3 Tbs Caesar dressing (from bottle or homemade)
3 Tbs lemon juice
2 Tbs olive oil
1 large clove fresh crushed garlic
a couple cracks of salt and pepper

mix all well, let sit a good 20-30 minutes for the acidic dressing to soften and shrink the kale a tad. lastly top with a few tomatoes or croutons and inhale!  your welcome!

Broccoli: its whats for lunch.

Broccoli is practically a super food.  So packed with healthy nutrients, fiber and goodness- its truly a perfect health food!

A single cup of broccoli contains 10% of your daily vitamin A, over 100% of your Vitamin C, 4% of both your Calcium and Iron!  Add to that 10% of your daily fiber and a whopping 5 grams of protein!  All of this for only 30 calories!  I need to eat more broccoli :)

My family loves my easy broccoli salad.  I whip the darn thing up in a big bowl and its good to go!  This time I used the bag of pre-chopped broccoli from Costco because I felt the pull of convenience during this purchase.  I simply toss my dressing in the bottom of the bowl, whisk then add the veggies and DONE!


Easy Broccoli Salad

1/3 cup mayo
1/4 cup milk
big splash white vinegar
1-2 tsp sugar/sweetener
dash salt

Add this to the bottom of your big bowl and whisk 'til blended!

Then mix in:

6-10 cups chopped broccoli
1 diced sweet onion
handful dried cranberries

roughly 60 calories per cup!

Get creative!  I've got some turkey bacon in the oven, just might chop that up and add it too! What would you add to your broccoli salad???
