Hearty Trader Joes Salad

This is my go-to lunch recipe when I want something that’s quick to prepare ahead of time and is still hearty, filling, and nourishing.

Ingredients

  • Kale (wash, de-stem, and chop)

  • Cruciferous Crunch Slaw from Trader Joe’s

  • 1/2 Avocado

  • Dry roasted slivered almonds

  • Golden Raisins

  • Crumbled Goat Cheese

  • Brown Rice or Quinoa

  • Chickpeas (rinsed)

  • Roasted Sweet Potatoes (or other root veg like beets, carrots, rutabaga)

  • Dressing: 1/4 cup olive oil, 1-2 teaspoons each of balsamic vinegar and orange juice, pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Massage dressing into kale - this can be done the night before.

  2. Add all toppings and put in the fridge to grab in the morning! Bring a little extra dressing in case you want that at lunch time.
