I love the idea of layering the ingredients in a mason jar. It makes fixing this salad much easier to make. The dressing sounds delicious.
Looks so fresh and crisp. This would make such a healthy and delicious lunch. Would be fun to bring a jar for a colleague.
That dressing has great flavors in it. And this makes a pretty jar.
I love salads! Although as much as I eat salads at least once a day, I haven’t really eaten a lot of fresh kale salads. Thank you for posting this recipe as I will certainly be trying this salad and dressing.
