Kale & Roasted Vegetable Salad

Picture
Kale is considered one of the "superfood" being so nutrient dense, with over 45 different flavenoids (that is cancer fighting stuff). One cup of kale has a daily requirement of vitamin K, A and C not to mention a tone of minerals. Vitamin K is an essential factor for bone health, making kale a dietary must for those concerned about osteoporosis. 

Ingredients:  
-bunch of kale (ripped into bit size pieces)
 -red/yellow peppers (diced)
 -onions (diced)
 -mushrooms (10 or so: chopped)

This recipe is so versatile, allowing you to substitute in whichever seasonal vegetables you enjoy. It also is a fantastic left-over dish, so do not worry about making a big batch because this stuff keeps well! Plus it uses KALE, which is one of the most nutrient dense vegetables around.

 -cherry tomatoes (diced up)
  -3-4 cloves of garlic (roughly chopped)
  -asparagus (6-8 pieces chopped up)
  -carrots (2-3, diced up)
  -any other vegetables you like J
  -1 can of chickpeas (rinsed)

Dressing
  -3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  -1 tablesoon of apple cider vinegar
  -1 garlic clove, crushed through a press
  -1/2 teaspoon pepper (optional)
  -1/4 teaspoon turmeric/curry powder (optional)
    
Directions:
  1.      Wash kale and put aside.  Then place all vegetables and garlic in a roasting pan. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with pepper.  Sometimes I use oregano or basil as well. Roast vegetables at 300◦F for 15-25 minutes or until vegetables looked well roasted and soft.
  2.      Place kale in a large bowl, add vegetables and chickpeas.  Then add dressing and enjoy.

This dish goes great with roasted chicken breast and kale is a hearty green so it can be kept as leftovers and will not wilt!!
