I can’t believe this is my first time sharing this salad dressing recipe with you – outside of the 7-Day Alkaline Cleanse (which we JUST completed!), that is – because it is my absolute favorite. You’re going to love it too.
In fact, you’d be smart to double it so you can use it for other salads or as a fabulous dipping sauce for veggie sticks. I’ll often do that if I need an afternoon snack.
The great thing about this salad is that the kale can hold up to the dressing without wilting. So you can make it in advance and have it ready to eat after a busy day or taken to work for lunch.
Give our salad a try because I can’t wait to hear if you like this recipe as much as I do over on Facebook.
