This nutritious kale cranberry salad is topped with almonds and bursting with flavor from the balsamic dressing.
When I was a kid, we thought of Kale as a garnish that wasn’t meant to be eaten.
Now we know that it can be delicious and it’s packed full of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and other nutrients.
The Cranberry Kale Salad is easy to make ahead of time. It actually gets more flavorful as it sits.
The salad would be lovely for a potluck or holiday meal.
