The idea for this salad was inspired by a recipe we found last year for a kale winter salad from the blog A Tasty Love Story. We tried it for the first time around Thanksgiving last year and it immediately became one of our favorites. We loved how fancy it looked and all of the amazing flavor it packed in. For our twist we added a couple of different kinds of kale, some shaved brussels and switched up the almonds for sunflower seeds. The result was a crunchier texture to the salad that was easier to make because the sunflower seeds don’t need to be chopped like the almonds did in the other recipe.
We like this salad because it holds up for most of a week in the fridge and we can eat it for lunches during the week. We just make a big batch, toss it with the tangy balsamic dressing and we are all set to eat a healthy salad for lunch!
We’d love to hear what you think about this recipe it if you make it. Take a picture and tag us on Instagram @realsimplegood so we can find it!
