Baby Kale Salad
A package of baby kale with assorted baby greens make a tender green salad.
Add tomatoes and radishes and a homemade honey lime vinaigrette and Baby Kale Salad, an easy side dish salad, is filled with texture and flavor!
While pondering over a salad for my Honey Lime Vinaigrette, baby kale came to mind as the perfect complement to a sweet, fruity, tangy vinaigrette.
And it's not just because kale is trendy at the moment, although I do love to rub elbows with hot new trends.
It's because the delicate baby leaves of kale are not only delicious but also amazingly nutritious, and yes, trendy!
Kale has recently gained in popularity due to its exceptional nutrient richness, numerous health benefits and delicious flavor.
This super-nutritious green vegetable is high in vitamins A, C and K, rich in beta carotene and packed with calcium.
It has anti-cancer properties, boosts DNA repair in cells, lowers cholesterol and decreases the absorption of fat.
Holy moly! It just doesn't get much better than kale, does it? I can say with confidence that kale is not just a trend, kale is here to stay!
The package of baby kale mix that I used in this recipe is a combination of baby kale, chard and baby spinach, but you can also use any combination of baby greens that you like!
Kale Salad With Honey Lime Vinaigrette will be the perfect compliment to dinner tonight!
