Baby Kale Salad with Fruity Vinaigrette

Your taste buds will smile with all the different flavors in this baby kale salad.


While at the Orillia market a few Saturday's ago, I discovered Yummies in a Jar. Tropical Summer is the vinaigrette I used for this particular salad. The ingredients that go into this include; peaches, cherries, kiwi, papaya, grapefruit, and lemon. It is oil free and tastes delicious.

If you live in the Orillia area you can find the Yummies in a Jar products at Apple Annies, or visit their store in Baysville.

  • Baby Kale salad mix
  • Thinly sliced red onion
  • Grape tomatoes
  • Dried cranberries 
  • Walnut pieces 
  • Tropical Summer Vinaigrette
Instructions
  1. Start with your baby kale mix in the bottom of a salad bowl.
  2.  Next add the thinly sliced red onion and grape tomatoes.
  3.  Add about one - two tablespoons of the Tropical Summer vinaigrette tossing gently.
  4. Add the cranberries and walnuts.
  5. Serve and ENJOY!

Delicioso Burritos

Hubby and I discovered a fast food chain called Mucho Burrito. Quite often while traveling in and around the Barrie, Ontario area we will stop at Mucho for lunch or dinner. Wanting to create the same taste sensation at home it took hubby two tries to get an even better tasting burrito.

BBQ or grill indoors all year round with an indoor grill. Healthier eating is easy with these as the grease is removed as you are cooking. Great for sandwiches, burgers, steaks, seafood and grilled vegetables.
