Recipe Notes

Tips: Substitute any of your favorite greens, like chopped rapini, Swiss chard or spinach for the kale mix.

Bowl toppings can be varied based on your families’ tastes. Other toppings that would work include: marinated quartered artichoke hearts, sliced olives, roasted red pepper strips, meatballs, roasted garlic cloves, shredded Parmesan or mozzarella cheese and chopped fresh basil.

For a shortcut, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. An average sized chicken yields about 3 cups of meat.
