Sunshine Kale & Rainbow Chard Salad


Several ladies have been participating in an 11-Day Detox.

Some great recipes have been found at http://www.fatflush.com/tools-community

So, I'm here to share with you that these recipes are "husband tested & approved" and they pass with flying colors.

I also recreated a salad that I had from Whole Foods the other day.  I added my own touches and the following is the outcome:

Sunshine Kale & Rainbow Chard Salad

1 bunch - Kale (sliced)
1 bunch - Rainbow Chard (sliced)
1/2 - Red Cabbage (sliced)
1 - Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1 small - Red Onion (thinly sliced)
1/4 c - Sunflower Seeds

1.  Wash & dry the Kale and Rainbow Chard leaves thoroughly making sure to also remove the core/stem from the leaves. I like to thinly slice my Kale and Chard. It's easier to eat and tends to taste less bitter (allowing the other vegi flavors to come through). Thinly slice the cabbage, red bell pepper and red onion. Toss all together into a bowl.

Dressing:

3 T - Dijon mustard
1/2 c - Orange Juice
1/4 c - Olive Oil
1/4 c - Balsamic Vinaigrette
1/2 tsp - sea salt

1.  Pour the dressing ingredients into a plastic squeeze bottle or mixing cup with lid.  Shake well.  Chill before using.

Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over your freshly dressed salad. I used roasted & salted.
