Recipe of the Week - Green Power Salad!

I thought it would be fun to share a new, healthy recipe each week and this one is my official favorite lunch (or dinner) salad. It's SUPER healthy and SUPER delicious. I literally eat this 3-4 times a week and have yet to tire of it.

Green Power Salad 
  • Mix of kale, red lettuce, baby romaine, field greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens or spinach. Pick 3 each day to keep it lively!
  • Scrunch the greens together and cut them narrow then pop it all in a bowl large enough to mix in.
  • Chop and add yellow, orange or red peppers, carrots, tomatoes, sprouts (the crunchy sprout mix available in the produce section at Harris Teeter or Whole Foods), broccoli, and ½ green apple.
  • Take 1 tablespoon organic, cold pressed olive oil, 1 tablespoon Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (the latter is available at Earthfare or Healthy Home Market), mix together and pour over salad.
  • Mix is all together with tongs so every bite tastes great, then add a 1/3 of an avocado to finish it off.  If you're taking this to work add everything to glass dish or Tupperware container and add the dressing when you're ready. Put the lid on, shake it up and BOOM.
  • You can also add 3-4 ounces of chicken, fish or black/garbanzo beans for extra nutrients. Enjoy the deliciousness!
