Citrus Kale Salad



Lunch today was one of our favorite salads.  This is our version of a recipe I found on the net a few months ago.  I have certainly broadened my horizons!  There was a time when I would not have even tried goat cheese!

The first pic shows ingredients:  9 oz. pk Taylor Farms Sweet Kale Salad Mix (From Kroger), 15 oz. can Mandarin oranges (drained), 4 oz. Goat Cheese, crumbled (feta would work), about ¼ cup sunflower seeds. 
 
 

Note: Cheese will crumble easier if placed in freezer about 10 minutes.  Place salad mix in large bowl.  (If this isn’t available, a kale-spinach mix will work, but we really like all the ‘stuff’ in this package.)  Add the few cranberries & pumpkin seeds that come with the kit.  Place the drained oranges on top.  Add the crumbled cheese and sunflower seeds.  Stir in the poppy-seed dressing that comes with salad mix. This makes enough for 2 meal sized salads.  Approximate calorie count in each is 430. 
 

 

This has so many different flavors/textures that it is one of our favorite meals! This is just one of our new dishes that help us stay the course, and it is working!
