I like this recipe because it’s super simple yet satisfying and very easy to customize with whatever fresh veggies you want to toss in. The lemon vinaigrette also gives the salad light and zesty vibrancy that makes it perfect for late-summer meals. Wholesome, refreshing, and ridiculously easy to make, this kale salad is a fantastic way to add some extra green goodness to your day!
