I personally loved salads growing up but I got tired of them afterwhile, especially when I went vegan. Those kale salads always were my go to & I decided to recreate it with some of my fav ingredients.
Salads don’t have to be just boring greens with dressing. You can elevate it & add ingredients to spice it up & give it some flavor. This recipe is great for beginner culinarians & those who need more transitional meals.
