Epic bars are a fast, easy way to add protein to your bagged lunch. Keep a box in your desk drawer and all you need are some veggies and Tesse dressing for a meal. We also love using kale in lunch salads because you can toss the whole salad in the morning. The kale will marinate, but it wont wilt away like lighter lettuce.

What you need

1 large bunch dinosaur Kale, stemmed and thinly sliced crosswise
2 mini cucumbers or 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced 
¼  red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons cup pine nuts
¼ cup Tessemae’s Balsamic Dressing
2 Epic Bison bars

What to do

In a mixing bowl, toss together the kale, cucumbers, onion, cranberries, pie nuts, and Balsamic. Salad can be packed up to a day ahead. Serve topped with the crumbled Epic bar.
