This is my all-time favorite kale salad!

If I don’t know what to make for dinner, this is what I make. Because 9 times out of 10 I have the ingredients I need and it never gets old.
I also love serving this salad with Italian meals, like my chicken parmesan meatballs.

This is actually the recipe that turned my husband onto kale. He was kind of skeptical of the tough green leaf before he had ir this way.

They key to making it less tough, is massaging it.

Yep, I said massage. Don’t be afraid to get up close and personal, massaging the dressing into the leaf. This is breaking down the cell walls in the kale, making it much more enjoyable to eat.

Top it off with some grilled chicken or chickpeas, and you have yourself one delicious meal!

Thanks for reading!
