Tips
I like to prep my kale salads in a glass jar for the week with no dressing. When I’m ready to enjoy some kale, all I have to do is open my fridge and pull out this jar. I like to squeeze lemon juice on top and eat this salad as is, or add these greens to my soups, tacos, burritos, and eat with steamed rice.
