I love kale…and I also love escarole and spinach and other raw greens in my salads but lately I’ve been getting a little bored AND Whole Foods didn’t have any kale left the other night, so it was time to put on my thinking cap, get creative and experiment!
I’ve never eaten Chard raw but the Rainbow Chard was calling my name…fresh, dark green and leafy and GORGEOUS red, orange and yellow stems and the produce guy said I could eat it raw, so I listened to him. Glad I did.
Rainbow Chard - SO colorful, healthy and delicious!
I usually steam it, or sautee it, but this time I just chopped it up and made it into a raw salad…DELISH, SO COLORFUL and GORGEOUS!!!
A great alternative to kale. Tasted great, was really hearty and crunchy…and leafy greens are known to be high in calcium, iron, protein, fiber, vitamins. They also help cleanse your blood and strengthen your immune system, so I felt GREAT afterwards.
FRESH
COLORFUL
DELICIOUS
With the chopped up chard, I made this asian-inspired salad…
