Here is an awesome salad recipe from one of our favorite Spring Fling websites, Engine 2 Diet.
Kale is one of those super foods that everybody should incorporate into their nutritional program.
One cup of kale contains 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and 15% of the daily requirement of calcium and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), 40% of magnesium, 180% of vitamin A, 200% of vitamin C, and 1,020% of vitamin K. It is also a good source of minerals copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus.
Kale is a great source of antioxidant vitamins such as A, C, and K. Additionally, it helps to lower blood cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease, and has many anti-cancer health benefits.
Ingredients:
1 bunch Kale, stripped and chopped
1 large (or 2 small) avocados OR 1/4 cup oil free hummus
½ lemon, juiced
¼ – ½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon, red chili flakes
½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 small carrot, grated
½ purple onion, diced
11 oz. mandarin oranges (about 3 oranges)
Instructions:
- Throw stripped and chopped Kale leaves in a large bowl with avocado, lemon juice, salt, and red chili flakes
- Mash and massage the avocado (or hummus) into the Kale with your hands until the avocado is spread evenly -like a dressing- throughout the Kale
- Stir in red bell pepper, carrot, purple onion, and mandarin oranges
- If you can, let the salad sit for 30 minutes before serving, if not, dive in!
