Enjoy a colorful lunch on a beautiful Almost-Spring day...

It feels like Spring in CA (Sorry to folks on the East Coast struggling with the weather). Staying with the spring theme, I had greens today for lunch - crispy Kale chips, sauteed Spinach topped with sunny-side up, and a Spring Mix salad.

To prepare the Kale chips, just toss the fresh Kale leaves with some Olive oil, pepper, and a pinch of rock salt. Put it under the Broiler on High (keep the tray away at least six inches) for around 8 minutes. Once the leaves start turning crisp, take it out of the oven. You can do the same with some colorful peppers to add some color variation to the Greens...

Saute Spinach leaves in a pan with a teaspoon of Olive oil. Sprinkle some chili flakes.

Prepare an egg sunny-side up.

Toss together fresh Spring Mix with Avocado slices, juice of half a grapefruit, a teaspoon of Walnut Oil, and sprinkle some sea salt and pepper.

Now plate all of this as shown in the picture below or any other creative way you can think of.

Enjoy Greens!
