So the other day I was craving vegetables like a crazy person. Really, Baby and I just needed ALL OF THE VEGETABLES, TOUT DE SUITE. And so. This salad was born. I thought I’d share it here today, because it is the bomb.com. And also, honestly, just throw all of the vegetables you have on hand in a bowl, and you’re bound to have a delicious creation. Which is why I love salads. Because salads make me feel like a chef, even though really I’m the furthest thing from. ;)
INGREDIENTS:
kale (half a bag of pre-cut kale)
cabbage, cut into strips (I used half a head)
carrots, grated (2-3)
broccoli
craisins on top
OPTIONAL ADDITIONS:
chicken (or salmon, or any meat you like), avocado, walnuts, sunflower seeds.
I used a champagne dressing we happened to have in our fridge and it was delish. Poppyseed or balsamic vinaigrette would be yummy too. Really, anything. This salad is SO GOOD and I made a huge portion and stored it in the fridge in mason jars, so we have individual salads for a few days to come! And that, my friends, is how I “meal plan.” ;) It’s a work in progress.
What are your favorite salad toppings?
Do you meal plan? Any tips for someone who could use some serious help in that department?

Yum!! Gonna try this. I ate kale like a madwoman while pregnant. I would just take a bowl of kale, squeeze half a lemon, add a drizzle of olive oil, massage it with my hands for a minute to soften the kale, then a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Every.single.day. Followed by a giant bowl of ice cream and spoonful of peanut butter of course. ;)
Oooh that sounds delicious!! I’ll have to try it! :) And of couuuuurse, you gotta have the ice cream and spoonfuls of pb!
