Kale Superfood Salad

How are you doing with your New Years Resolutions? Do you make resolutions? I do – I love to challenge myself, sometimes I fail and sometimes…. like last year I do really well!

I think it’s because my biggest challenge last year involved a team; Mom, Dan and myself. We set a goal to walk or run 2016 miles in 2016 and you know what? On December 18th, 2016 we met our goal!

Mom, Dan and I walked and ran 2016 in 2016!

My Mom who is 75 years old walked 480 miles last year!! How cool is that? (Mom is my hero, I want to be just like her when I grow up!)

Dan and I picked up the slack. That left us with about 770 miles each, which isn’t huge but it was challenging to complete. (Having broken ribs in the middle of of the year didn’t help.) Together WE DID IT!

We’ve already set our goal for next year and you guessed it – 2017 miles in 2017!

I’m best when I set goals and challenge myself. Daily, weekly, monthly and for the year. If I don’t, I find myself spinning and I don’t like it when I’m not productive.

Making better choices is part of those goals. I’ve been leaning this way for a while and I want to continue that into 2017. So….without further adieu…drumroll please!

Let me introduce to you this delicious Kale Superfood Salad!

Leftover salad? Pile it in a tortilla, it makes the perfect wrap. (Wait until just before eating to put the wrap together so it doesn’t get soggy.)

Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the wrap. It was so good we devoured them quickly. I loved that it was easy and repurposed leftovers.

Even if you don’t eat leftovers as a wrap on day two it stays crunchy and yummy the next day as a salad.

If you take a shortcut and use store-bought dressing I won’t tell! Use a sweet vinaigrette.

A great salad is life, wouldn’t you agree? Here are more of my favorite recipes!

    How stinkin’ cute is your mom? Seriously! I love that she does all that walking. I really should incorporate more superfoods into my diet, especially because I have rheumatoid arthritis. I know it would be beneficial to me. Maybe I’ll start w/ this yummy looking salad!

    I love the 2017 goal — what a great idea! My husband and I are at the gym every morning and we do about half an hour on the elliptical plus another 40 minutes of weight training, lunges, squats and pushups. We don’t have a real mile goal, but I like the sound of this… The salad is fab!
