Kick-Start Your Resolutions!

It’s time to say goodbye to the heaviness of the holidays, and say hello to the lightness of fresh and delicious eating! Here’s a new salad, just introduced in our deli, that you can make at home! I’m crazy about this simple salad! Traditional tabbouleh is made with bulgur wheat and parsley, but the quinoa adds a great protein punch, and the kale is packed with fiber, iron, magnesium–and much more!
And remember that using organic ingredients really matters!
Cleansing Kale Tabbouleh
Makes 4 servings
You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
- 1 small bunch organic kale
- 1 cup organic grape tomatoes
- 1/4 cup organic white onion
- 2 organic persian cucumbers
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed organic lemon juice
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Tear kale from the stems, wash and dry with a towel or salad spinner. Then chop into smaller, bite-sized pieces, and place in a large bowl.
- Wash the tomatoes, and cut them in half and add to the large bowl.
- Finely chop the onion and add to the kale
- Cut the cucumber into small pieces and add
- Add the cook quinoa.
- Mix the lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper, and then pour into the bowl and stir well to combine.
- This tabbouleh will keep in an airtight container for up to four days
This recipe serves four, but I might have eaten most of it for lunch today…
Enjoy the fresh nutrition of organic produce!

This sounds delicious!!!

From Bakersfield,
We are blessed to have one of Lassen’s great markets here.
The managers (I could name them all) make everyone glad they walked in the door. They along with the assistant managers make sure ALL questions are answered to satisfaction and that your shopping experience was good. This also applies to the cashiers. When they opened I was freed of the Long trip down to Whole Foods.
Thank you for this fantastic feedback! I have passed it on to our Bakersfield staff — they are terrific. Thanks so much!
Thank You,
Carla
I hope you like this salad — it’s a regular at my house!
OMG!!! Gotta try this! Thank you Lassens for your recipes!!!!
It is totally one of my favorites. One great thing about it is that kale holds up better than lettuce, so it will keep for about 4-5 days, so I make a batch and have the leftovers for lunch for several days! Super easy and healthy!
