Did you know you can make salads in advance? It is a great way to eat healthy all week, even if you are busy. When making salads ahead of time, it is a good idea to choose hearty vegetables. Kale can be cut days in advance, while softer lettuces start to wilt and brown right away. For more tips on preparing the kale and storing this salad read the original post at Kitchen Instruction Manual.
It is important to choose the best ingredients for every recipe. We suggest using a raw honey, Just Mayo (or other healthy alternative), and organic milk for this salad.
