If prepping your meals is still a thing, well this is for you.
This is (obviously by the title) my go-to kale salad blend. I make it Sunday or Monday evening and use it for lunches or dinners throughout the week. I’ve topped it with air fryer chicken, salmon and have used it for side salads at dinner time. It’s great to have on hand and keeps me making better decisions at meal time. Plus it’s packed with nutrient rich leafy greens!
To Make My Go-To Kale Salad Blend Set out:
- kale
- spinach (not baby)
- romaine lettuce
- cabbage
- carrot
Start by stripping the kale leaves from the stem of 1 bunch of kale. Discard or compost the stems and finely chop the leaves. Rinse or soak in water and spin dry in a salad spinner – in the end you should have about 5 ounces.
Roughly chop 8 ounces of spinach. And chop a medium head of romaine lettuce and rinse and spin dry.
Add the chopped kale, spinach and romaine to a quite large bowl.
Use tongs to carefully combine.
Then add in 1 cup thinly sliced purple cabbage and 1/2 cup shredded carrot.
Toss to combine!
This makes a lot. Like over a pound of nutritious healthy salad goodness. So I usually make this and immediately have a giant salad from it. This will last me a week and I can get about 6 entree salads from it.
Use tongs to transfer salad to a gallon size resealable bag, I squeeze out as much air as possible and seal it close and refrigerate. However, feel free to use a storage container or method of your choice.
