MARINATED KALE SALAD

Posted by Sean on

I am personally a huge fan of this recipe. But with farm-fresh kale, it goes to a whole other level. Even Aunt Pam didn’t know how to make this until my mom showed up. I can taste it just thinking about it. Crunchy but tender kale greens, is the very prominent taste, with just a hint of sweetness and sour from the dressing. Just amazing.
