Just starting a health kick, getting off the sauce for the next 30 days and back to the gym. This recipe just came to me, so thought I'd share! It is great with salmon, boiled eggs, and avocado.

I'm not a huge fan of kale, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing really mellows out the kale's bitterness.
