Super Green Salad with Mango Salsa

 I've been eating a lot of greens lately. I mean, I always eat a lot of greens. In our house we go through multiple bunches of kale on a regular basis. But recently, I've been increasing my greens consumption even more. And it feels so good! They truly are a gift from nature, full of chlorophyll, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Everyone could use more greens in their diet. The world would be a much healthier place if they did.

 I threw this colorful salad together after another trip to the farmers market. I bought some gorgeous kale, mixed salad greens, and pea shoots. I put them all of  in a bowl and added some broccoli sprouts and broccoli and topped the whole green monster salad with a homemade mango salsa. This salad is sure to give you a nice dose of antioxidants from all of the colorful produce. It will also brighten up these dark cold winter days we're having with a nice tropical touch. Feel free to double or even triple the mango salsa recipe below and use it throughout the week.
