I hate it when I take pictures of kale salads because it always looks like there is nothing there besides green when in reality there’s much more to it! This is a very simple, summery salad that anyone can enjoy. It's vegan, dairy free, and gluten free. You cannot go wrong! Disclaimer: there is no source of protein in this salad because I had shrimp on the side so please feel free to do the same and add chicken, shrimp, lentils, and/or hemp seeds! Let's get to the recipe.
