This is my very favorite kale salad- all of the flavors just meld together in a delicious way- I usually eat the whole bunch by myself- YUM!

just finished making up a variation on this salad.. I was a little short on olive oil, so I used some avocado, too.. It is so yummy already..but I might tweak it a little bit more..

so good!

I had a modified version of this last week. I use seasoned sunflower seeds instead of the pinenuts (don't like 'em). And it was yummylicious, of course!!! *smacking lips*
