Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad with Creamy Vinaigrette

Is it just me or does it seem like every other person I talk to is part of the Paleo diet craze? A few months ago, I wasn’t even sure what Paleo meant, so I wanted to do a bit of research before automatically discrediting it as a fad diet, which is something I am generally wary of.  Anyhow, after further investigation, I now know that the basis of Paleo is pretty solid; it’s rich in whole fruits and vegetables, protein, and mono and polyunsaturated (good) fats. I am always trying to incorporate more plant-based food into my life and eliminate the processed junk. It can certainly pose a challenge, but the key is in the preparation. Let’s take this kale salad as an example. I used to think I hated kale. The word itself caused me to turn up my nose. Well, that’s no longer the case.  This refreshing salad was a “kale game changer” for me, so to speak (which sounds like an oxymoron,  but I am literally addicted.) Easy assembly and lasting freshness add extra bonus points to this healthy summer staple. It doesn’t wilt so you can eat it for days if you are so inclined! Who knew kale could taste so good? ¡Buen provecho!

 

See… even Lulu can attest to its deliciousness.
