I keep wasting the pre-washed salad I keep buying. It’s the one thing I can’t get myself to use. I either forget it’s there because I’m not used to having it in the fridge or I just don’t want it. Ugh, greens. I can’t keep wasting it but I have to find a way to get myself to eat salad. My solution? Kale. Yep, it’s time for kale salads.
Why kale salads? Well, I like kale. So there’s that, but kale doesn’t go bad as quickly as other softer greens. And if it wilts, you can repurpose the kale easily in cooked dishes, unlike say, romaine. A couple of these salads are my absolute favorites and they are my go-to recipes. If you’re not a fan of kale, check out these other awesome summer and winter salads.
