Salad for Breakfast!

   YES INDEED!!

This recipe is especially for my friend Sharon McRae, plant based Certified Health Coach extraordinaire!  Check out her website (www.eatwell-staywell.com). She knows more about nutrition then anyone I know and she really does eat salad for breakfast!

 Glorious golden berries (aka: gooseberries) brighten any dish.  It's no surprise, they are considered a “superfood,” since they're packed with antioxidants (carotenes and bioflavonoids) good amounts of vitamins C and A, protein and phosphorus. They are touted to reduce levels of inflammation in the body and strengthen the immune system. Besides that- they taste great! They're tart, like cranberries, with a citrus note.

Here are the core salad ingredients:
                kale, carrots, goldenberries, walnuts, and parsley.

Vary your salad with:
jicama, spinach, golden beets, currants, hemp seed, daikon radish, granny smith apple or orange sections

Dress your breakfast salad with fresh squeezed orange juice-or , if you prefer a heavier dressing, use a blend of  tahini/or almond butter and orange juice. Whatever version you try, this salad makes a nutritious way to start your day!
