With the arrival of summer, farm markets are overflowing with fresh produce. Recently, I picked up a large bunch of kale—crispy, vibrant green-blue, and completely organic—for just $1. I brought it home and made a Tangy Kale Salad, which my whole family devoured!
Using a food processor to chop the kale makes it tender, sweet, and delicious, quite different from its leathery appearance in the photo. Once you try it, you'll be hooked! The tanginess of the Thai seasoning combined with the sweetness of the lemon oil enhances the flavor of this leafy green, turning it into a guilt-free delight you'll love.
For those following a low-carb diet, you can skip the dried fruit. However, once you're ready, feel free to add some dried fruit, like cranberries, or even fresh fruit such as mandarin oranges. Mix it up and enjoy!
Happy Cooking!

STACEY SAYS
If you're on the Optavia 5 & 1 plan, avoid adding fruit, though it's okay during the transition phase. The dish is still tasty without fruit. For extra crunch, you can add 2 teaspoons of slivered almonds, counting it as one condiment.
