This salad is made with fresh kale tossed in a creamy and tangy balsamic dressing. Have this recipe done in minutes and your side dish is ready to go for any meal. I created this salad after my head was tucked in the fridge for minutes on end trying to think of a quick, easy side that’s both healthy & fresh. I had a bag of kale that needed to be used and condiments that I always have handy in my pantry. End result – this tasty salad that even my husband is obsessed with! I love the flavor of balsamic vinegar and this dressing has the perfect balance of flavors with mayo, a touch of honey, garlic and spicy brown mustard. Top your salad with dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and some feta cheese. Gluten free and can be made Paleo too! Enjoy. Let us know what you think by rating the recipe below.
