Mango, Quinoa, Kale and Avacado salad
I loved this salad. Easy to prepare and hearty enough for a main course. The Quinoa packs the protein in. You could also add grilled chicken to this.
I gave kale a chance and I’m glad I did . It’s a super food as far as health benefits. One cup of chopped kale contains just 33 calories, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin K .
