Katrina’s Kale Breakfast Salad

I know what you’re thinking…Kale for breakfast? Well, yes! Take if from someone who has had a long road with chronic fatigue and stomach issues. Once you begin changing the way you feel one meal at a time, dishes like this one become a delight to your taste-buds and your health. This salad is an overnight success, so you don’t have to do all the work in the morning; when you’re getting your motor running. I promise you will be very pleasantly surprised at how this dish is quite enjoyable, even in the morning. I mean, think about it…if you can eat a big slab of dead animal first thing, then why not a gorgeous, light, and tasty salad? You better believe it. This one won’t disappoint!

And did you know that kale is one of the most nutrient dense foods in the world?  Eating more kale is a great way to dramatically increase the total nutrient content of your diet.  One cup of raw kale contains 206% RDA for vitamin A, 684% RDA of vitamin K, 134% RDA of vitamin C, and high amounts of bone protecting minerals, like calcium, magnesium and potassium. It is also high in several age-fighting and cancer-fighting anti-oxidants like quercetin and kaempferol. There are many more benefits to eating kale that you can read about here.  All in all, I highly recommend adding kale to your diet regularly, for improved energy, digestion and sleep.
