A simple salad with boiled eggs is a staple quick dinner in our house! This one based on a delicious warm kale salad (a great way to eat kale if you don’t usually like the taste), microgreens and brocolli.
This salad is extra special because of the micro greens – powerful antioxidants that are also mineral rich. Add in the broccoli, kale, garlic, hemp seeds and boiled eggs and you’ve got the perfect combo of superfoods.
Eggs are one of my favourite mama foods being a great source of protein, choline and iodine – things we need more of during postpartum and to support our cognitive function, energy levels and thyroid.
