Recently,  a really smart friend shared a really good salad recipe with me.  I decided the perfect time to try it would be my birthday.  I figured since it was MY birthday I could make what I wanted.  Usually, I cook with the boys in mind.  This time I really didn’t care if they wanted this delicious Kale and Broccoli Salad.  I knew it would be so good and I knew I would love it.  And I did.  From now on I’m going to call this my Birthday Kale Salad.  You really gotta try this one!  Promise!  And don’t wait for your birthday!

BIRTHDAY KALE SALAD

2 Bunches Tuscan Kale, stems removed and chopped
1 lb brussel sprouts, thinly sliced
1 Cup grated parmesan or asiago cheese
1 Cup of dressing

DRESSING
1 shallot,  peeled and chopped
1 bunch curly parsley, chopped
1/4 Cup lemon juice
1 T sea salt
1 3/4 C extra virgin oilive oil
pepper to taste

In a food processor or blender, combine shallot, parsley, lemon juice and salt.  Keep motor running and slowly add olive oil.  Add pepper to taste.  Dressing makes 2 Cups and keeps in the fridge for a few days.

Toss the Kale, Brussel Sprouts, Cheese and Dressing.  I added chopped avocado.   Dried cranberries are also a great topping to this salad.  Very fresh and tasty.  Also, stays fresh for the next couple of days!


There you go!  My gift to you!!  

And just for fun, here’s what was strutting around in our back yard this morning.  I love it when Turkey comes around!  I’ve missed seeing her lately.

I took this through a screen with my phone so the quality is just awful – but you get the idea!

What about you?  Have you jumped on the Kale craze?  Do you know how healthy it really is?  Brussel Sprouts – love or hate?  Have a turkey in your back yard?  I’m thinking she needs a name . . . 

Have some fun out there!
