We teamed up with our brand partner Salad Savoy Corporation, the home of color, taste & nutrition®, to bring you three great recipes for Mother’s Day.
There’s no one quite like mom! She works hard all year — it’s nearly impossible to count all the things she does for her family. This Mother’s Day, give mom a much needed day off. Let her relax while you take care of things, including preparing a delicious meal.
Salad Savoy Corporation makes creating a beautiful and delicious meal easy. Their products are full of vibrant colors. Salad Savoy®, their namesake veggie, is a relative of kale and cabbage and grows in bright white and violet heads. Multi-Colored Lollipops® Kale Sprouts, a cross between red kale and Brussels sprouts, have a distinct purple and green color that is quite eye-catching.
Both Salad Savoy® and Lollipops® are versatile veggies and can be prepared using just about any method. For our first recipe, we’ll use the grill. For our second, there’s no cooking required at all! And for the third, we’ll use an air fryer. Let’s get started.
First up on the menu is Chicken and Lollipops Kabobs. Pass mom a cocktail while you fire up the grill! Chicken and veggies are a classic kabob combination. The addition of Lollipops elevates this classic to the next level!
