Another way to make something with kale is making a kale salad! The idea is to balance out a kale salad with sweet and savory. Adding most fruits work such as berries, apples, pomegranates and for vegetables roasted butternut squash or sweet potato, avocado, cherry tomatoes, cabbage. For a simple kale salad, start with massaging the kale with olive oil, lemon juice and/or apple cider vinegar and sea salt. After massaging it with your hands for a few minutes and the leaves are coated, let it sit in the bowl for five to ten minutes. Now you're ready to add the fruit you want, vegetables (shredded carrot, bell pepper, red cabbage, etc. Season it with your favorite dressing and sprinkle it with sunflower, pumpkin and/or h**p seeds.

The simplest way we all know to get kale in our bodies is in a smoothie! What's your favorite green smoothie? I usually do a mix of greens in my green smoothies - 1/2 cup spinach and 1/2 cup kale along with the most in season fruits such as berries. Of course, using frozen fruit from the grocery store works well too.

What's your favorite way to enjoy strawberries?

One of mine is to have them in a baby lettuce salad with white radishes and a lemon vinaigrette dressing.

Finally, the strawberries are out from some local farms and markets!                                                    ...

Finally, the strawberries are out from some local farms and markets!
Did you know this is the best way to remove dirt and more from them even if you buy organic strawberries? Soak them in a baking soda solution (1 teaspoon of baking soda for every two cups of water), submerge the strawberries and soak 10-15 minutes, rinse thoroughly in a colander, pat dry until they're completely dry and store them in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Mint is a great herb with so many uses from adding some leaves to ice tea or lemondae to a watermelon salad or in Greek inspired meals!

One of my favorite ways to enjoy mint is with tzatziki which is delicious with Greek seasoned ground lamb (cooked into meatballs or patties) in a wrap or over a bed of lettuce and topped with feta, fresh mint, lettuce and Kalamata olives.

If you like mint, what ways do you enjoy having it?

Try making a Snap Pea Salad with carrots, dill and a dijon, lemon, garlic vinaigrette!

Snap Peas are a great Spring vegetable and quick to prepare! A simple sauté with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper can work for any meal.

You can add them to an Asian stir fry, sauté them with garlic and add lemon zest before serving, which would work well with Chicken Picatta or add lemon and feta for a Greek inspired meal!

If you've had snap peas before, what's your favorite way to enjoy them?
