Roasted Portobello and Baby Kale Salad

by

Roasted Portobello and Baby Kale Salad is the perfect summer salad! Summer is right around the corner, and it will be here before we know it. Thank goodness. We all made it through winter! Cheers! I’m so excited for Summer this year. I love the hot weather. The sunshine and the endless amount of time spent at the beach and pool, grilling, watermelon, and salads. I love summer, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and Labor Day. Which is probably why I love living in Florida so much. It’s summer 365 days a year!

In anticipation for the warmth, I’ve been experimenting with salads and this one. I have to say, has hit the salad jackpot. My husband loves it as much as I do. This has quickly become my favorite salad! It is so good and easy to make I am sure you will love it too. And, the best part is that it is large enough to eat, that you won’t be hungry in an hour! It is healthy goodness, and it is packed full of vitamins. It is Paleo, Whole 30, Gluten-free, Low-Carb, and Low- fat and has amazing flavor.

Roasted Portobello Mushroom Caps and Fresh Baby Kale, is like a match meant for each other, with the added bonus of Roasted Onion and Pancetta. Then topped with some Sunflower Seeds and Dried Cranberries to add the perfect salty and sweet combination. With a final dash of the Balsamic Vinegarette to finish the already perfect flavor explosion off and taking it to a whole new level of perfection!

You can also add grilled chicken, grilled steak, grilled fish or shrimp if you wanted to add some protein. The Roasted Portobello and Baby Kale Salad would be the perfect addition to any gathering. Bring it to a party, luncheon, or BBQ. Just double the recipe and chop up the Roasted Portobello Caps when you take them out of the oven. This salad is so easy to make but looks like you spend hours. The Roasted Portobello and Baby Kale Salad will be the hit of any gathering, everyone will love and beg you to bring!
