A Salad Chock-full of Healthy Goodness!

     My husband recently dined on this salad at a local art museum's restaurant (and I helped myself to quite a bit of it).  I liked it enough to make it for dinner one night this week.  There are a number of ingredients and a little chopping involved, but it is worth the time it took to assemble.  I am going to list the ingredients, but no measurements.  I feel you can be very creative with the amounts.  After all of the Christmas cookies I've been baking (and sampling) lately, I felt it was time for something really healthy.  This is certainly it!

          •  organic romaine, chopped
          • napa cabbage, chopped
          • kale, ribs removed and finely sliced
          • quinoa, cooked (recipe HERE)
          • organic beets (roasted in oven, then small dice)
          • butternut squash (small dice and steamed until tender)
          • cauliflower (small dice and steamed until tender)
          • organic apple (small dice)
          • smoked Gouda or Manchego cheese (small dice)
          • dried cranberries
          • candied walnuts (
recipe
HERE)
          •
raw pumpkin seeds
          • apple cider vinaigrette (whisk equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and
            extra-virgin olive oil, season with salt and freshly ground pepper)


          • I hope you like this salad as much as I did.

Eileen this looks really good and completely unrealistic for me to tackle right now. I have too many baked goods in front of me to consume this fresh and fine recipe in good conscience. :-) I will revist after the New Year and a file of new resolutions. Warm regards, Tom
