There was no recipe for this one. My DD2 said that this was what she was making for dinner, so I jumped on the bandwagon. ME TOO.
Kale, roasted walnut, dried cranberry and apple wood smoked goat cheese.
1 bunch curly green, 1/2 bunch curly purple Kale
1/3 cup walnuts, roasted at 400 for 5 min.
1/3 cup dried cranberries
2 oz applewood smoked goat cheese
1/2 t sea salt
Delicious.
I cleaned, and cut away the stems on the kale, sprinkled with sea salt and massged the kale until it was reduced about by half.
here is the kale after massaging for 5 minutes.
Olive oil and balsamic dressing:
2/3 c olive oil
1/4 c balsamic vinegar
1 t honey mustard
2 T honey
salt and pepper to taste.
Add all to a small bowl and wisk well.
I tossed the prepared kale with 4 T of the dressing dressing and let sit for 20 min.
Add dried cranberries, roasted walnuts and chunks of goat cheese and toss lightly. More dressing if needed.
We had this with roasted sweet potato fries. Sweet potatos are good for you in so many ways, here is a small excerpt from healthdiaries.com
Antioxidants
High in both vitamin A and vitamin C, which are invaluable for the prevention of many different types of cancer.
Anti-Inflammatory
Sweet potato has anti-inflammatory properties thanks to the vitamin C, vitamin B6, beta-carotene, and manganese it contains.
Arthritis
Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-cryptoxanthin, which has been found to help in the prevention of chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
2 medium sweet potatos
1 T minced garlic
1 T olive oil
1/4 t chipotle powder
1/4 t cinnamon
1/2 t sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Peel and slice the sweet potatos. Toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, ground chipotle, cinnamon and sugar. Roast at 400 for 40 minutes. Stir after the first 20 min.
After 40 minutes
Our dinner, on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, we gave it a 4. (-:
