Raw Kale Salad

Raw Kale Salad [serves 4 as a side dish]

This is a simple, easy to make, nutritious salad. It makes a big hit at family dinners and potlucks. Unlike lettuce, this salad does not wilt and get soggy so you can make it the day before. I actually think it tastes better the next day!

4 cups of shredded kale (dinosaur, red or green Russian or a mixture of all three)
2/3 cups of grated carrot
1 T fresh lemon juice
1 T extra virgin olive oil
1 T red onion, finely chopped
¼ t salt (or more to taste)
Dash of black pepper

Wash the kale well. Remove and discard the center stalk and thinly slice to get 4 packed cups of kale. Place the kale in a salad bowl. Mix the lemon juice, olive oil and salt and add to the kale, gently working it in with your hands to tenderize it. Add the grated carrots, chopped red onion and dash of pepper and mix well. Add additional salt if needed.

Emily's Southwest (Chicken) Fiesta Salad

you can add shredded/cubed chicken or ground beef/turkey OR NO MEAT =]

INGREDIENTS:
 lettuce, ripped into little pieces (i use about 1/2 head)
2 C broccoli slaw mix (it has carrots, broccoli and red cabbage in it)
**for the above you can just use a bare salad mixture
1 15 oz can kernel corn, drained
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 C ranch dressing
1/2 C picante sauce (i find salsa works too, but it is not as good--too chunky)
1 C crushed tortilla chips
1/2 C shredded cheese
1/2 C diced tomatoes (optional)

place all salad stuff in a bowl
add corn and beans
piece chicken, add
in separate bowl mix ranch dressing and picante sauce
pour over greens, beans and corn
mix well

top with shredded cheese, and tomatoes
chill till ready to serve
add crushed tortillas right before serving.

From Beth: Yummy! We just drizzled the dressing on ourselves and that way my leftovers will not be soggy. :-)
