Kick-Ass Salad

A salad is a salad, right? Wrong!
There are so many fancy and original names for a salad, but do they really pack a punch with nutrition? A salad should be tossed with nutritional foods that add value to your meal. Not only that, you should be able to eat as much as you want.

I don’t like to follow the crowd when a hype starts about a super food. However, there are a few green leaves that deserve just that. The basis of this kick-ass salad are about two green leaves in particular.
