My Favorite Kale Salad

Here's my "the kids are all back in school" picture and I get to enjoy this salad! 🥗 🥗🥗

This is my favorite salad as it really holds up because kale is a type of green that doesn't wilt with dressing on it. This is also the salad that I take with me when traveling. Somehow whenever I am eating it, my kids want it too. One way to get your kids to eat salad is by serving yourself the salad first and waiting for your child to ask for some. Another way is to make it fun by doing a “cheers” with some salad on your fork. One other way is to see how many items you can get on your fork and allow them to have an adult size fork which they think is fun.

1 head of cleaned chopped kale
1 head of cauliflower
