An Easy and Delicious Chopped Kale Salad Recipe
Late summer and early fall is probably my favorite time of the year for food. There’s still plenty of tomatoes and corn, and it’s fairly easy to find fresh veggies and fruits at the markets and stores. Now that Craig and I have our days back with Marin in school, we also have a little more time to make lunch, what a concept!
This was definitely one of those, whatever we have on hand meals. Craig threw this kale salad together and it was just so delicious and fresh. A quick and easy lunch or would be great with dinner too. This would keep pretty well so you could prep ahead if you needed to bring it with you to the office. There’s plenty you can substitute in this recipe too. You could do a simple olive oil and lemon dressing with salt and pepper instead of the lemon dijon vinaigrette. You could also add strawberries instead of raspberries. Throw in what you like! The fresher the ingredients the better.
It’s going to be a hot one this week so here’s a few more easy recipes for hot days.
