Green Kale Salad Recipe

This Green Kale Salad is so named for its kale and spinach pesto-esque dressing. Frankly, my rule for salads is literally: anything goes. Just chuck in the vegetables you are able to get a hold of and as long as you have a general sense of what they taste like, and what goes with what, you’ll be fine. If you’re not confident though, just use what I did and I promise it’ll turn out superb.
