Kale and Beefsteak Tomato Salad
I am pretty proud of this little salad. Not only because I think it tastes amazing and is a powerhouse of antioxidants and protein, but I whipped it up within minutes while battling a horrendous cold that has rocked our little household.

In fairness, I did do it during naptime for the kids… so take that for what its worth 🙂
