It’s over 100 degrees in Utah right now and the last thing I feel like doing is eating much let alone cooking! I crave cool, light and refreshing in the summer and this salad is just that! I prefer the light flavor of the lemon and oil but feel free to add a splash of your favorite dressing for more variety! It’s the perfect side dish or main dish topped with chicken or fish. Make sure to massage that kale extra good. You’ll be shocked by the change in texture and flavor! Enjoy!
