It's always 7 crutons, some salad toppers from walmart, and fat free thousand island.
Gosh - it's getting really boring.
I'm eating it once a week for dinner to make sure I get my greens in.

What do you put in your salad that is low cal low fat?
Please bring some excitement into my boring life.

    to use it up, i stick 3oz of that taylors kale medley in nutra blender, along with 3oz of pineapple juice, 3/4cp almond milk and 2oz of a banana.. quick way to get some of my veggie and fruit servings..

    Don't really like the medley otherwise but, it does taste decent warmed up in a cast iron pan with a little bit of purple onions and than mixed into some white quinoa.. nice lunch as is, for a dinner i slice up and fry up some chicken tenderloin or ground turkey breast and add that to it too...

    I love to mix my greens (romaine, spinach, mesclun) with cucumbers, grape tomato, sunflower seeds, blue cheese, and light champagne vinaigrette. It tastes even better if you omit the tomato and add craisins.

    Chicken, feta cheese, any berries or fruit you like drizzled with raspberry vinegrette.

    I have been cooking it with my quinoa mixed with a little chicken stock so that I'm not always eating salad. As a salad I love it with grilled chicken, a hard boiled egg, some fresh blueberries and some Skinny Girl Poppyseed dressing.

    This kale recipe uses manchego cheese and grapes with an easy vinaigrette. Bon appetit!

    If you don't want to use it right now, what I would do is to purée it in a blender by itself and freeze it in an ice cube tray. Then, pop the cubes out of the tray and put them in a ziplock. You could use the cubes to make quick green smoothies, or you could cook them to beef up the nutrition of pasta sauces or something.

    Once a week? Not sure that's enough to get your greens in!

    Why low fat? I'd add in boiled egg, cottage cheese, anchovies, artichokes, capers, pickles, cherry tomatoes, chopped peppers, tuna, green onions, and crispy parma ham.
