Healthy Charred Kale Caesar Salad

Kale Caesar Salads are super popular right now; they’re everywhere, all over restaurant menus and Pinterest. I was fascinated by the idea of a Kale Caesar Salad and when I first tried one at a restaurant, I was disappointed… it was mostly romaine lettuce, definitely not-homemade croutons, a barely visible shaving of parmesan, a lack of dressing, and the only highlight was a few pistachios sprinkled in for good measure.

Roasted Vegetable Burrata Salad

Salads are my default lunch. I don’t like eating a heavy noon meal, especially on work days, it makes me sleepy in the afternoon. And one of my daily goals is to eat as many vegetables as possible. Thus, I eat a lot of salads. (I introduce myself to people by saying, “Hi, I’m Emily. I’m a dietitian and I eat a lot of vegetables….being somewhat serious here, haha). This green power protein salad was inspired by my local grocery store deli.
