One of the easiest, tastiest, nutritious, quickest perfect winter salads for weeknights. It’s also perfect for meal prep as the ingredients get better as they marinate. I’ve been making this salad for years, and even though I’m a fan of hot foods in cold weather, I make exception for this. If you don’t like kale, this salad will make you a fan! And it’s ready in 15 min.
This salad has all the added benefits of seeds, nuts and an easy miso dressing (here’s your chance to get your dose of fermented foods). ⠀ ⠀
