Kale Salad with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette

Hello!!! I am heeeere with another vegan recipe that I naturally just *love* even though I’m not vegan in the slightest! This salad is easy to whip together on a random Tuesday night (or any day, I kind of just randomly went with Tuesday here) and it’s chock full of flavor. It’s also great as a main dish (sometimes if I’m in a pinch, I throw a microwaved veggie burger on top as my “protein”) or you can enjoy it as a side. I personally love to pair it with a roasted pork loin or pork chops with an apple chutney —a very non-vegan choice — but that’s my personal preference. Regardless, if you like crunchy salads with a lot of texture and flavor, then you will luv this.

The beauty of making salads is that you really don’t have to follow measurements. Add as many walnuts, pumpkin seeds, avocado, etc. that you want! Want apple slices? Add them! Want potato chips? Go for it! You do you. Just incase you don’t trust yourself to eyeball it with this recipe, or if you just want to make this salad *exactly* like I did, I’m providing measurements. Just know that you really don’t have to follow them! The only measurements you should follow are for the vinaigrette. 🙂
