That’s SO Jenn’s Kale Salad

Kale is pretty much the ‘it’ vegetable on the market, (or should I say at the market?) if anyone could imagine there would be such a thing. It’s claim to fame is most likely its versatility in both raw and cooked creations, along with how well it stands up to a vinaigrette. Whether mixed into soups, sandwiches and pastas or transformed into crunchy chips, this green has taken the culinary world by storm.

It seems everyone has their own interpretation of a kale salad these days, so it was only natural that I came up with my own. The result? A clean, light recipe with only a few simple ingredients. The dressing is made with essentials you most likely have in your pantry, and you can use a shortcut with packaged shredded veggies. The best part is you can make this ahead of time without worrying about a soggy mess the next day. Just toss and eat!

Ingredients:

For the salad:

6 cups of kale

1 cup shredded red cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup diced red onion
