Easy Kale Salad
My husband is not a fan of cooked Kale, but apparently raw kale is a hit! And super easy! I totally cheated with premade dressing, but the fresh lemon and Parmesan take it up a notch. Kale doesn't wilt like lettuce, so this is good to make ahead for parties! You can also add a protein and serve with bread to make this a balanced dinner.

As a busy housewife, I'm always looking for quick and easy recipes that my family will love. This kale salad is one of my favorites because it's delicious, healthy, and so simple to make.
The best part about this salad is that it's so versatile. You can add any toppings you like, such as grilled chicken, bacon, or croutons. And you can use any type of dressing you like, from a simple vinaigrette to a creamy Caesar dressing.
Step-by-step
