Do you have the same problem I have? That is finding recipes to get your loved ones to enjoy eating raw cruciferous veggies. Well, yesterday I stopped by Costco. When in the produce aisle, full of humungo bags, I saw one that peaked my interest- Sweet Kale Chopped Salad. The bag is a shredded combination of broccoli stalks, kale, brussel sprouts, green cabbage, and radicchio. In addition I later found that there is an enclosed bag with cranberries and sunflower seeds(a keeper), as well as their poppyseed dressing that has egg, which I immediately discarded.
I thought....hmmm, that's an easy way to whip up a salad full of goodness. I bought it.
I am always looking for a way to get my hubby to eat more raw cruciferous veggies but I need to mask them slightly.....thus I need to make my own (healthy) dressing. Here's what I came up with:
1 large lemon- juiced
3TB or more tahini
1/2 tsp garlic powder
agave or sweetener of your choice to taste.
Whisk it all together, add water till desired consistency.
If you don't have the magic bag of veggies just shred a big bowl full of:
broccoli stalks
kale
Brussels sprouts
green cabbage
radicchio
or any beautiful greens in your fridge.
I added the sunflower seeds and cranberries for crunch.
He ate it, loved it and asked for more. :-)
