Do you need a quick meal to throw together during weeknights?
Try this Easy Mexican Kale Salad!
“Why kale?”
I chose kale, but you can use practically any salad green you want. Kale like many other dark leafy greens is very nutrient-dense. Kale is rich in vitamins A, K, and C. Other great choices of dark leafy greens are arugula, Swiss chard, spinach, and collard greens.
“But I don’t like salads!”
If your salads are boring turn them up a notch with toppings. Salad topping make a salad worthwhile! Some of my favorite toppings include nuts, seeds, cheeses, dried fruit, tortilla chips, olives, artichokes, and dressings.
My avocado green goddess dressing pairs well with this salad.
