Kale makes a great base for a packed-lunch salad as it doesn’t lose it’s crunch. In fact it’s easier to chew and digest when it’s been left to marinate for a few hours or even over night. It’s a true superfood packed with fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C and iron. This salad will keep in the fridge for a couple of days.
Substitute salmon, chicken or feta cheese for a non-veggie alternative.
