Healthy Vegan Salad with Toasted Nuts

This dish might be called Healthy Vegan Salad with Toasted Nuts, but anyone who tries it will just call it delicious! Kale never tasted so good! Every ingredient shines as this salad provides crunch, creaminess, and tangy saltiness. The dressing is something you will no doubt find many uses for. Serve it as a side dish at dinner or a main dish at lunch. Just don’t plan on having leftovers!

Getting push back about kids at the table tasting kale? This dish is the perfect starter meal. However, if they still aren’t game, pick up (or make yourself) some kale chips from the grocery store. No one can pass up a crunchy kale chip. From there, the jump to kale salad is just one small taste away. And remember, organic whenever possible is best!
