Summertime Salad… aka “There was a Sale on Kale”
It’s hot in LA today and I do mean H.O.T. Translation: (No one is turning on an oven) because we’re in a major heat wave and it feels like an oven outside -so why torture ourselves and continue the heat indoors.
That being said I have a perfect recipe that requires ZERO cooking and just a bit of dicing and slicing -but not enough that you’re going to break a sweat. Soooo if you’re in the mood for a healthy and YUMMY salad.. here is a Kale concoction that I think you will enjoy!
