For as long as I’ve been posting to Pickles & Honey (over 5 years!), the food blog world has been all about kale. Kale smoothies, kale chips, and of course, kale salads. Every week when I go grocery shopping, I buy at least one big bunch, and last summer I filled my container garden with it. Somehow, I’m still not sick of kale. The key for me is varying the type I buy (purple, curly, lacinato) and how I prepare it. If you’re looking to switch up your usual kale salad or you haven’t quite jumped on this leafy green bandwagon yet, below are 7 simple kale salad recipes—great for getting in your daily greens with very minimal effort.
