After a weekend full of LOTS of food, what is better than a nice healthy salad?? We made this for dinner on Saturday night after lots of rich and indulgent foods over Thanksgiving. This was the perfect thing to get back on track with! Kale is a hearty green that is packed with flavor. This recipe calls for kind of an odd pairing of ingredients, but all the flavors really come together!
Servings: 2
Size: Main course salad
Points Plus: 7pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: n/a
Rating: 3 stars – Good
10 dried apricots, diced
¼ cup almonds, sliced
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, flakes
½ avocado, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
Directions:
Wash and chop the kale into small, bite-sized pieces; add to a large bowl. Dice the apricots and add to bowl along with almonds and parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. In a small Pyrex measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar; pour over the salad and mix well. Just before serving, dice the avocado and add to the top of each serving.
Tip:
It's really important to get yourself back on track after a holiday weekend! Eat lightly and pack in a lot of salad, broth-based soups and other low pp value meals early in your week. Take advantage of zero pp fruits and veggies for snacks too!
