Kale salad with mango vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful salad that's perfect for summer. The kale is massaged with lemon juice and salt to soften it, then tossed with ripe mango, red onion, and toasted almonds. The mango vinaigrette is a sweet-and-tangy dressing that brings the whole salad together. This salad is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Kale is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as fiber and antioxidants. Mangoes are a good source of vitamin C and fiber, and almonds are a good source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. The vinaigrette is also made with olive oil, which is a good source of monounsaturated fats. This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.
