Kale Salad

What? Kale salad again? I can't help it, it my favorite salad at the moment, my new love so to speak.

Kale is not always available at the supermarket, so when I see it, I grab it. But lately, I seem to see it more often. 

I don't know why but I enjoy massaging the tough leaves with dressing. Maybe it's therapeutic, getting my hands all "dirty" and scrunching at the leaves. Just like a kid playing with food hee..hee..

I made this Kale Salad on the same day I made Marinated Salad and you might notice the capsicum, carrots and cherry tomatoes used in both salads.

I am eating more salads again after deviating from my more health promoting foods. There is simply too many temptations around the office and I tend to cave in and eat the comforting bad foods. Case in point, my recent noodle obsession. 

If I had my way, I would eat out everyday and become fatter and poorer. That's not a good thing. So I am now doing my own cooking again and limiting eating out to twice a week. But it's not working wahahahaha!!!
