Winter is traditionally a time for heavier food, and while we all enjoy a hearty, warm meal during cold weather, as spring draws closer, you may find yourself starting to crave fresh, green vegetables. This fresh and delicious kale salad recipe is a great way to cleanse and purify your system after the heavy and hearty foods of wintertime.
This also makes a great healthy lunch – just add a protein of your choice for a full meal that’s packed with important nutrients! Not only can it help you detoxify, but it may even give your immune system some support.
