Recipe Notes

This Asian Kale Salad may be one of the easiest recipes you ever make.

The best part is that the recipe makes 8 servings and the salad gets better on the second day. The flavors infuse into the kale and the saltiness and sweetness provide a great balance to the bitter kale and parsley and the aromatic spice.

Serve this with a simple piece of fish for a great lunch or take the salad to your next pot luck dinner.
