Consider this salad a recipe for glowing skin.  More nutrient dense and less caloric than a traditional Caesar salad, this blend of detoxing and hydrating vegetables packs a serious anti-aging punch. Included in the dressing are anchovies, which are among the health and beauty seeker’s best kept secrets. One of the best bonues? They’re very high in the skin-firming nutrient DMAE and glow boosting Omega-3’s.

Ingredients:  

Serves 4

• 1 large head Kale, cut into 1-inch strips.
• 1 bunch watercress, cut into 2-to 3-inch strips.
• 6 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced.
• 4 stalks celery with leaves, thinly sliced.
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved.
• ½ cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise.
• ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil.
• 8 oil packed anchovy fillets, drained and chopped.
• 6 large cloves garlic, minced.
• 2 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Freshly ground black pepper and sea salt.

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, toss the Kale and Watercress with the radishes, celery, tomatoes and cucumber.
2. Combine the olive oil, anchovies, minced garlic in a small saucepan over moderate heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is slightly golden, about 7 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season generously with pepper.
3. Pour the warm dressing over the salad. Season lightly with sea salt and toss again. Serve warm.
