I didn’t want this salad to end. It was over the top tasty and satisfying. I may just eat this for every meal for the rest of the weekend, because it’s salad and because I can.
Not the best shot of this amazing salad, but you get the idea.

Blueberry has some serious salad envy…and the cutest face ever.
POPPY SEED VINIAGARETTE DIRECTIONS
- In a large mixing bowl, roughly whisk together dressing ingredients. The dressing doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth and creamy, because you’re about to massage this into your kale.
- Adjust seasonings to taste.
BLACKBERRY CITRUS KALE SALAD DIRECTIONS
- Wash kale, remove stems, if desired (I left mine on). Chiffonade Kale (slice into thin strips).
- Add kale to large mixing bowl, with prepared vinaigrette. Massage dressing into kale for about 1 minute, or until kale is tender and bright green.
- Incorporate remaining salad ingredients, toss and serve.
Thrive on,
