Ahh Betsy's world famous morning salad. You wanted the details, and here they are:
"BLD - breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I eat salad any (every?) time of day. Brian can testify! Here's what I packed for today's AM meal. It's a really awesome and flexible vegetable and protein bonanza.
This is a ballpark recipe - add or subtract where you like." - Betsy
"Morning Living" Salad
3 large chopped Romaine lettuce leaves
cucumber
bell pepper
tomato
green beans
Italian white beans*
feta cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
salt (kosher or sea salt)
ground black pepper
dill or other fresh green herb as garnish
Directions:
1. Combine the lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper and tomato with the green beans, Italian white beans, and feta.
2. Dress with kosher or sea salt, ground black pepper, a teaspoon or so of olive oil and equal parts of white wine vinegar.
3. Feel free to add dill or another fresh green herb.
Note: As for the Italian white beans - I buy them in a Sicilian store around the corner that keeps them jarred. Sub any cooked white bean or chick pea you like.

Would love to hear Morning Living replayed in the afternoons rather than replaying Martha's Q&A session for five straight days at 3 cst--the same exact episode. Am paying extra for Martha Radio, but is that really worth it for the drive home?

Would like to know the nutritional values for the salad.

Just a little clarification...
Are the green beans cooked or blanched -- or do you use them raw?

Betsy you and Brian and cute on the radio, but what is going on? I have been a subscriber to Sirius since 2006. Longtime listener to MSLO Radio in the car and all day at work. Living Today is gone, there are constant repeats, no SANDY GLUCK? I hope you realize that the longer the chaos goes on with constant repeats of Ask Martha, intelligent listeners will move on. I miss the programming of the not so distance past.

Where is the KALE SALAD??? I need that receipe
From: Joni Sitko | 2/6/12 at 1:05 pm
Betsy,
I would like your Kale salad recipe. I listen every morning, but have never actually been tuned in when you gave the recipe. You refer to Kale so often that I bought some, but I don't know what to do with it. I tried making Kale chips but they tasted like grass.
