Do you need a quick meal to throw together during weeknights?

Try this Easy Mexican Kale Salad!

“Why kale?”

I chose kale, but you can use practically any salad green you want.  Kale like many other dark leafy greens is very nutrient-dense.  Kale is rich in vitamins A, K, and C.  Other great choices of dark leafy greens are arugula, Swiss chard, spinach, and collard greens.

“But I don’t like salads!”

If your salads are boring turn them up a notch with toppings.  Salad topping make a salad worthwhile!  Some of my favorite toppings include nuts, seeds, cheeses, dried fruit, tortilla chips, olives, artichokes, and dressings.

My avocado green goddess dressing pairs well with this salad.
