There's something that just feels good about eating a colorful kale salad. The more colors, the higher the variety of nutrients. And who doesn't love eating something so pretty? This colorful fall kale salad has all the fall hues--deep reds, bright luscious greens, vibrant orange. It's like the kaleidescope of hues on a slowly turning green to deep red tree all wrapped up in one healthy salad.
I'm including the recipe for the dressing, but not for the salad itself. Really, it's just a list of ingredients that I tossed together with homemade dressing. I stowed the leftovers in the fridge overnight and ate them the next day--the flavors were even better the second time around.
