I recently discovered baby kale at the grocery store. I was excited to see that there’s more to kale than the big, tough greens I get from my farm share.

Baby kale is perfect for a raw salad recipe because it’s so tender. This citrus kale salad pairs baby kale with oranges and a few veggies for good measure.

The lemon lime dressing is bright and flavorful. This recipe is a powerhouse of nutrients, but it tastes sweet and refreshing. That makes it the ideal side dish in my book!

You can substitute other vegetables according to what you have on hand, and try grapefruit for a tangier citrus taste. Serve this salad with grilled chicken or salmon for a light dinner.

If you have traditional kale in your produce drawer, try my easy roasted kale chips for a healthy snack or side dish.

This citrus kale salad is so flavorful!

Salad

  • 6 cups baby kale
