Jingle Belle Salad

Okay, I don’t celebrate Christmas, so I don’t usually name things after Christmas carols.  But this salad just screams Christmas, with the vibrant reds and greens… why fight it?  It’s also really easy and delicious!  This could also be called “Let’s Not Get Fat for the Holidays Salad,” as it is so low in fat and sugar and so high in fiber and so nutrient-dense, but that seems rather long.

Ingredients:

3 medium beets, peeled and shredded

2 apples (I used one gala and one honeycrisp), shredded

1 ½ ruby red grapefruits, segmented (all skins removed)

3 cloves of garlic, minced

2 t marjoram

1 t thyme

1 t cumin

1 large bunch curly kale, chopped

½ avocado, diced

¾ t. sea salt

Massage the kale with the avocado and sea salt until the kale is softened and coated in smooth avocado.

Combine the kale with the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Don’t worry about keeping the grapefruit segments intact; they will break up.

If you are trying to gain weight or want this as a whole, filling meal, add the other half (diced) of the avocado for some extra fat and reaminess.

Serves: 6
