Kale + date salad
Ingredients:
kale
dates
almonds
blue cheese
Homemade olive oil vinaigrette
Tip: If you plan to have salad for lunch the next day, prep the kale by giving it a “massage” with olive oil then put it in the fridge overnight. Massaging kale (yes, they’re high maintenance but very nutritious!) will break down the kale tough structure and easier to chew once you enjoy your salad!
This is one of my favorites around Spring time - your taste buds will enjoy the sweet taste of dates , the saltiness of the goat cheese and the tart lemon olive oil vinaigrette altogether!
