6. Kale Salad with Mango Vinaigrette
Unless you’ve been living in a cave you know that kale is incredibly good for you. But sometimes it can taste a little, um, gross. To make a good kale salad you need the right dressing to balance out the bitterness of the kale leaves, and this mango dressing is just what we were looking for. And don’t rush the process; the recipe suggests you let the dressed salad sit for 20 minutes before eating so that the kale leaves have time to soften. Trust us, that 20 minutes makes a big difference.
