Here is my personal recipe for a refreshing kale salad with a citrusy mandarin dressing (borrowed). I bought all the salad ingredients from Trader Joe's. I will be honest I did not quite measure out everything, so everything is an estimate. I do not like to add a lot to my salads but you can add whatever extra stuff you want, it is up to you. I forgot to take pictures because everyone was so hungry we just went ahead and ate. Plus, I am still getting use to this blogging thing :).
Simple Kale Salad Recipe (4 servings): I bought all the items from Trader Joe's. Just toss all these ingredients in a bowl and add as much dressing you desire. I just lightly coated the salad and it was perfect.
- 1 package of Organic Tuscan Kale (or regular kale) *I buy from Trader Joe's
- 3 oz of Low Fat Feta Cheese, crumbled on top
- 1-2 cups of Sugar Plum Tomatoes halved (the bigger ones)
- 4 oz of Pomegranate seeds (ready-to-go from TJ's)
- 1/4 cup of chopped pecans
Mandarin salad dressing from sparkpeople.com: Just whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl then voila! 2 T = 119 calories
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 T poppy seeds
- 1 T Dijon mustard
- Salt to taste
Enjoy!
I promise the next recipe will have more pictures. I do realize this is not a mandarin salad but the dressing just tasted yummy on the kale salad.
