Hello, Friends! I hope you all are having a fantastic start to 2015! You may have noticed that I took a short haitus from the blog to decompress and spend time with family. I’ll tell you, it was the best! I am re-energized and ready for what 2015 brings. Many of you may have made new year’s resolutions that are diet related, so today I have partnered with General Mills and Weight Watchers to bring you a healthy recipe to try. Not only that, but to help you also save while you lose…weight, that is!
I have been dabbling in the kitchen as of late and this recipe is one that I have deemed to be a keeper! For you salad-lovers, this is one for the books – the Crunch Kale Salad with Yogurt Vinaigrette. It’s a sweeter vinaigrette, but super yummy nonetheless.
To start, General Mills and Weight Watchers have provided you with some coupons to help you also keep your new year’s budget resolutions in check! Download a print version here or upload a digital version here. I used the coupons at Publix (where all of the items pictured below can be found), and saved some money while shopping for my healthy meal planning and cooking this week.

I am keen on recipes that don’t take too long to make because I have two kids that want to eat everything in sight the second we walk into the house! So quick and easy recipes are the key to my sanity. 🙂 This recipe took maybe 15 minutes to make. Perfect for the busy household and for weeknight meals. Here’s the Yoplait recipe. A web/printable version is also available here:
- In large bowl, mix kale, 1/4 cup olive oil and the salt. Massage with your hands 2 to 3 minutes or until kale softens slightly.
- In blender or food processor, place Yogurt Vinaigrette ingredients. Cover; blend or process until smooth.
- Divide kale among 4 plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette; top with granola and dried cranberries. Pass any remaining dressing.
The winner will receive a basket of Weight-Watchers endorsed products including salad tongs, a dressing emulsifier, and salad shears.
- Visit each of the following recipe sites for recipe inspiration:
- Comment below with the dish you plan to make using Weight-watchers/General Mills products from one, some, or all of the recipe websites.
The basket will be sent to the winner directly from General Mills. Exciting, right?! So visit the sites, check out the coupons, go shopping, and make some amazing meals this year! Don’t forget to leave a comment below! If you post on Instagram or Twitter, please be sure to tag me and I’ll retweet/repost your creations. 🙂
Until next time! Stay chic!

Thanks for your comment, Linda! Yes, I had only had kale once before, but now that I have this bag, I’ve had kale salad for dinner every night! It’s also surprisingly filling! Let me know what you think of the dressing. 🙂
