Feels Like Summer Kale Salad

Here is a salad that makes up a whole meal! It is easy to make. One of the tips for using kale for a salad is to massage an acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, into it before tossing. Our video today shows you how. I am so happy that the corn, tomatoes, and peaches are starting to show up in the store - when I see those, I always FEEL like i’s summer!
