Aunt Toni's Super Salad

 

 

I ran, the run girlfriend run race over the weekend and My Step Mom ( I hate calling her that. I wish there was better name) had a bunch of her wonderful friends and family over to her home after the race for food and beverages. Her sister my aunt Toni had brought this delish salad  that she had bought. So I thought it would be fun to make my own version of it. So here it is! Also this Salad lasted 4 days in the fridge. I ate the last of it yesterday.

 

 

To start out dice some rd onions and place them in a bowl. Add salt, pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.

 

Chop the kale very fine, chop the bell peppers, chop or shred carrots, chop green onions, and chop parsley. Add it all to a big bowl.

 

Add edemame, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, blueberries, cranberries, onions that you had set aside, and toss together.

 





 Add quinoa and toss once more store in an air tight container or eat right away. You can use different veggies or leave anything out. The key is choosing hearty enough veggies that will hold up to the acidity and the fridge if you plan on storing it for lunches during the week.
