Servings: 4

 

Ingredients:

20g of dried cranberries

1 large pink grapefruit

2-3 Bunches of Kale (Mine was about 500g ones the stems were removed)

kosher salt

1 tbsp olive oil

20g sunflower seeds

Equipment:

bowl

knife

Cooking instruction summary:

Pull the leaves off the stems of the kale and chop into thin strips or pieces and place them in a large bowlSupreme the grapefruit over the bowl. I have a link in this post that shows you how to do it. Basically cut the peel off and then slice out the grapefruit sections with a knife. Do it over the kale so any juice drips into the bowl.Once you are finished cutting out the segments you will be left with the center pulp of the grapefruit. Squeeze that baby over the kale leaves extracting as much juice as possible.Add the olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt then toss and rub the kale with your hands making sure to distribute the juice and olive oil evenly. Add the sunflower seeds and cranberries and toss again.Eat immediately or let sit in the fridge for a few hours. It’s good either way!Note: I added a few extra sunflower seeds and cranberries on top for the photo. Oh! And I do have to add, I happened to serve this with a quick pork fried rice dish and the rice mixed in with the salad was even better! I will have to revisit the combo making a complete meal. I would add it here but the rice and pork was literally a “kitchen sink” type of thing.Weight Watcher pointsplus note: I just use the nutritional info to calculate.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
