So. This is a reflection of how I eat pretty much every day. I want to start posting more of the simple, healthy foods I eat weekly, rather than posting more “special” or “cheat” recipes. Kale salads are one of my absolute faves. They are perfect for prepping in advance. They can marinade with the dressing & add-ins and stay in the fridge all week to pull out for lunches, snacks, or a quick dinner side. I am a huge lover of kale..raw, cooked, baked, sauteéd, smoothie’d, you name it. This salad is SO fresh and springy and beautiful! You will feel soooo healthy after eating it.
