Using steamed and raw kale, this salad is a star and it looks like one, too. You get a whole dinner plate of fruits and veggies for just over 150 calories and 5 grams of fat.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch lacinato kale (Whole Foods)
• 6 cups raw baby kale
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 lemon
• 1 cup shredded radishes
• 1 cup diced apples
• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons light poppy seed dressing

Instructions

1. Remove the stems from the lacinato kale and rinse well. Steam lightly in the microwave oven for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The color will intensify and the leaves will be crisp tender.
2. Place the 5 lacinato leaves on the plate as pictured.
3. Toss the baby kale with the olive oil and lemon juice. Place on a plate and top with radishes and apples.
4. Top with a thin ribbon of poppy seed dressing and black sesame seeds.
5. Chef's Tips:
6. You can also make this recipe with regular kale and cabbage to save money.
7. Budget version:
8. Use 4 cups of regular kale plus 3 cups of cabbage. Steam 1 cup of washed kale very well in a steamer and use them in place of the lacinato kale. Shred the 3 remaining cups of kale and 3 cups of cabbage and proceed with the recipe. Omit the sesame seeds or use toasted plain ones instead. Use cole slaw dressing instead of poppy seed dressing.
9. Enjoy!
