Simple Saturday: Seasonal Salad

Sorry if I got a little crazy with the alliteration in the title of this post.

I love words...what can I say.

I'm really excited about this salad (and you should be, too) because it's full of health, uses seasonally tasty ingredients and can be thrown together in a matter of minutes. It also got the thumbs up at my community group!

Curly kale has become one of my favorite raw greens because it keeps its crunch and texture fabulously even after being dressed and sitting for awhile.

Simple Saturday: Kale Salad

Well hello, weekend.

Hello sleeping in late.

Hello celebrating the summer's best ruby red and misshapen tomatoes with BLTs loaded with crisp, salty bacon.

Hello balancing that bacon overload with banana, soy milk and almond butter smoothies.

This Simple Saturday, I'm sharing a throw-together, easy kale salad recipe that's perfect for a weekend lunch or dinner when you're looking for a health cleanse and pick-me-up.

Simple Saturday: How to Cook Kale

The other day someone asked me how to cook kale.

And my face lit up and I got extremely enthusiastic about explaining the delicious merits of this green veg.

Because kale deserves excitement!

Kale is the perfect side dish, pasta mix-in, pizza topping, salad green and even chip.

I call it nature's popcorn, because when you cook it with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, it turns into a crunchy, earthy, savory treat that is quite addictive.
