This refreshing salad is the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. I love using kale for salads because you can dress it days ahead of time and the leaves still stay firm and crisp. I almost think it gets better with time, almost like a marinade!

Description

This salad is equally as light and refreshing as it is hearty and satisfying. A great lunch or dinner option, it’s packed with protein, healthy fats and tons of flavor! Bonus -the Vitamin C packed mango helps your body absorb the plant based iron in the kale.
