Course Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 cups fresh kale
  • 1 can Great Northern Beans 15.5 oz
  • 1 cup croutons or homemade pita chips
  • ¼ red onion
  • 1 ½ lemons juiced
  • 1 tablespoon dried mint or ¼ cup fresh mint leaves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Soak the kale in a bowl of water for a few minutes then run it through a salad spinner to remove excess water.
  • Drain and rinse the beans and let them drip dry while preparing the rest of the salad.
  • Rip the kale into bite size pieces, removing any stems and the thickest part of the ribs. Place it in a large salad bowl.
  • Slice the red onion into thin slices and add it to the salad bowl along with the croutons or pita chips and the drained beans. Give it a slight toss.
  • Sprinkle all of the spices over the top and add the mint also.
  • Pour the juice of 1 ½ lemons over the top of the salad and toss it together until the leaves just begin to wilt and it tosses easier.
  • Add the olive oil and toss together. Taste it to see if it needs any more salt. Serve immediately and enjoy!
