Roasted Cabbage Salad

I am always on the look out for easy work lunches. Last night I made oven roasted cabbage wedges for dinner.  I sprinkled them with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and sea salt and tossed them in the oven at 400F for 40 minutes.  With the leftovers, I chopped them up and made this lovely salad for work.  Chop up your choice of veggies and protein.  For dressing I used 1TBS of olive oil, 1 TBS of cider vinegar, a drop of honey and salt and pepper.  The roasted cabbage has a nice sweet flavour and it is a very filling satisfying lunch.

Easy Avocado Tuna Kale Salad

Looking for an easy tasty way to get in your leafy greens?  This is just the trick.  It tastes great, is super filling and contains a healthy dose of good fats and lean protein.    I absolutely despise lettuce, so salads are typically not a go to food for me.  Kale is SO much better than lettuce, it doesn’t get soggy, wilty or rusty.  I can dress my salad in the morning before work and it isn’t a gloppy gross mess by lunch time.

• 1 avocado
• 1/2 English cucumber chopped into bite size pieces
• juice of half lime
• 4 oz of tuna shredded
• 2 cups of kale torn into bite size pieces
• salt and pepper to taste
• (for those without autoimmune disorders throw in a pinch of cumin and chop up a bit of jalapeno pepper for added zing

Mash avocado add in shredded tuna, squeeze in lime juice, salt and pepper and give another good stir.  Toss Kale in mixture and stir it around so it is evenly coated (I find using my hands is easiest).
