Notes

  • Just about anything can be interchanged in this recipe. Use different dried fruits in place of the cranberry and blueberry for a new flavor.
  • Likewise, adding in some nuts gives a great crunch.
  • And of course, interchanging the kale salad dressing is alright too (so long as it meets your diet prerequisites)
  • The kale salad holds in the fridge with the dressing for 1-2 days. Without the dressing, the salad lasts 4-5.
