Health and fertility benefits of Kale Salad
Kale is an excellent source of calcium, which has an important role in egg maturation and follicle development in the ovaries.
Ingredients
3 cups carrots, shredded
1/2 cup light olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
2 cups grape tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 avocado
1 cup cilantro
12 oz kale
Instructions
1. Cook quinoa according to directions and set aside.
2. Chop kale and avocado into bite-sized pieces.
3. Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl until the kale is well coated with the oil.
4. Notes: this salad will keep for several days in an air-tight container. To keep longer, prepare the balsamic vinaigrette (vinegar, oil, salt and pepper,) and pour over the salad only once you are ready to eat it. Also try adding other fresh herbs for an extra boost of flavor and nutrients such as parsley, chervil and mint.
