World’s Best Kale Salad

My mom offered to make a Kale salad while staying at my house a couple of years ago.

“Oh…kay,” I said hesitantly. I didn’t like Kale. I had already tried it in salad and baked as chips and just couldn’t eat it. That is, UNTIL I tried THIS salad. This salad made me totally changed my mind about Kale. This is seriously the WORLD’S BEST KALE SALAD! Created by my mom, Rebecca Bornman! Thanks mom!

Kale salad recipe:

1 bag Kale from (elephant or rougher Kale, not soft, baby Kale)

1-2 chopped Green onion – optional

½ cup cranberry

½ cup chopped almond

½ cup blue cheese (or gorgonzola)

Dressing:

½ cup of OLIVE OIL

lime juice from one lime

½ cup parm cheese

2 Tb honey

Chop the Kale and take out any stems.

Mix the dressing.

Throw all the ingredients on top of the Kale.

Pour the dressing on top, throw on a little salt/pepper or whatever seasoning you have on hand, mix well and enjoy!
