when one goes veg*n, it very important to get your daily greens. (yes, daily). whether it's throwing some kale into your soup, some spinach into your pasta, or collards into a stew, get those greens into your diet!!!
traditionally, i think most of us get our greens through salads - veg*n or not. so today i am posting one of my favorite salads. mind you, the ingredients aren't going to be measured, but use your own discretion and build your salad using moderate amounts of each ingredient. . . except the greens. . we want plenty of those.
spring mix
spinach
granny smith apple chopped in bite size pieces
dried cranberries
dried cherries
dried blueberries
walnuts
trader joe's tuscan italian dressing (if trader joe's is not in your area use a balsamic vinaigrette)
toss and eat.
remember to make the greens the predominant part of the salad. the fruit should play a highlighting role, but adding some sweetness to the acidity of the dressing. the walnuts add cruch and depth as well as a boost of protein, so be rather generous with them.
