Massaged Kale Salad - 4.1g Carbs, 1.3g Fiber, 0.9g Sugars
From: SparkPeople user CHEF_MEG
Even kale needs some love. Massaging an acid-based dressing into the fibrous green leaves tenderizes them, making the healthy vegetable more palatable in its raw form.
Prep: 10 min
Servings: 8
2 bags Fresh Express Baby Kale Mix
4 Tbsp Chef Meg's Garlic Dijon Vinaigrette (Recipe Below)
Juice and zest of one lemon
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped (optional)
Place the kale in a large mixing bowl. Pour dressing and lemon juice over the greens, then massage the dressing into the kale for 5 minutes. This will help soften the kale. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Just before serving, add the egg, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Tips: This dish ages beautifully. Make it a day ahead.

Garlic Dijon Vinaigrette Salad Dressing - 1.3g Carbs, 0.1g Fiber, 0.1g Sugar
From: CHEF_MEG
Vinaigrettes are perfect as salad dressing, a dipping sauce for steamed vegetables, and a marinade for lean cuts of meats.
Prep: 5 min
Servings: 12
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, zested and juiced, about 1/4 cup
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Place all ingredients except the oil in a small food processor or bowl. With the processor running or while whisking, slowly stream in the oil.
Refrigerate up to a week.
Tips: To mellow the garlic flavor, roast it before adding to the dressing.
How can you tell if the dressing is good? I always say that if you get a one-eye wink out of me due to the tang, it's perfect.
