Winter is here and that means no more farmer's market. After a fabulous summer and early fall of farm fresh vegetables I'm back at the market for my vegetables. For the last few weeks we haven't been eating salad because the lettuce hasn't been looking good at all. My brother recently told me about the New Eat Smart Gourmet Salad and Stir Fry Kits. They are the fast and flavorful way to eat fresh veggies every day.
I was excited by the wide variety of the kits. They have fresh salad kits and stir fry kits with great looking vegetables. Many of the kits are made with delicious and sophisticated combinations of ingredients like kale, green cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, chicory, and/or quinoa and toppings like roasted pumpkin seeds, almonds or dried cranberries. I love that all the ingredients needed for a meal are right there in the kit.
I recently tried the Ginger Bok Choy salad kit. It contains six superfoods: sugar snap peas, carrots, Napa cabbage, broccoli, bok choy and red cabbage, plus peanuts and a ginger sesame dressing. Since I wanted to make it for dinner I paired it with grilled chicken marinated in a ginger and soy marinade. This was such an easy meal to make. I simply divided the salad between two plates, sprinkled on the peanuts, then sauteed the chicken. Once it was finished I put the chicken on top and drizzled the salad with the ginger sesame dressing.
This was a fresh, delicious, and healthy weeknight meal that I was able to cook in just 15 minutes. It was also nice to enjoy some vegetables that I can't always get in my market. They were crisp and looked healthy which was a nice change from the limp lettuce I usually pick up in the market all winter long.
