Health Salad

[Michael]

I always get a kick out of Bruce's post about his dilemmas with foods. So I figured I would share a favorite salad  I got from an older lady. She called it a,"Health Salad". Whether You consider it healthy, that's up to You. 

1) Bag of kale 
2) 4 carrots & small sweet onion chopped
3) Half head chopped red cabbage
4) Sesame seeds
5) Parsley Flakes & black pepper
6) Ground mustard-3 teaspoons
7) Tumeric- 3 teaspoons
8) Lemon juice & olive oil ( same amount)
9) Dried cranberries-chop small
10) Garlic(2 cloves) optional
Toss Well

I get the stuff at Trader Joe's. I buy the organic kale that's already chopped, shredded carrots, and the organic mix cabbage already shredded because I'm lazy with meal prep. Something that I prefer instead of the sesame seeds are raw pistachios.

That looks good. I’d add some canned wild Alaskan salmon to that for more protein.

What? No sea salt?
Carrots are one of the veggies that release more nutrients when they are cooked. The crucifers, like kale, cabbage, broccoli and the spinach contain oxalic acid. If I eat them, I always steam them first, no matter how they will be eaten, to reduce the oxalic acid significantly to a tolerable level for digestion.

Sounds tasty to me! Would also add some sort of meat or fish.

This is my go to salad for lunch at work. I also do add Himalayan salt and pepper. I either eat chicken, turkey or some kind of fish with it. If I'm working extra hard I have some kind of carb with it also.

"HOW TO OBSERVE #EatYourVegetablesDay

Make sure you consume your recommended daily allowance of vegetables. What creative ways can you incorporate more vegetables into your diet? We compiled a few suggestions:

Add veggies to your breakfast. Whether mixing spinach into your eggs or swapping out that muffin for a smoothie, you can get at least one serving in the morning.
Skip the candy bar when you’re craving a snack. Instead, have some carrots, kohlrabi, or other fresh veggies to munch on.
Another great snack is veggie chips. They not only reduce calories and fats, but they taste great, too.
Swap out the French fries for a side salad at lunch or supper. If you’re having a baked potato, choose a sweet potato instead."


SO, go out and CELEBRATE! Personally, I'm gonna have me a steak. 'Cuz I hate vegetables. Don't judge me.
