1-2cupschopped veggies(I used cucumber + cherry tomatoes)
2-3TBSPchipotle extra virgin olive oil
1tablespoonfresh lemon juice

Instructions
It's a salad. It's easy. Make it.
Simply whisk together your dressing ingredients and, using your digits, massage it into chopped/torn kale leaves.
I add the dressing in increments, pouring a little over the bowl of kale and massaging it into the leaves. Yes you're getting intimate with something you're eventually going to be eating. Yes it's awesome.
Add in your chopped veggies and dig in immediately or pop it in the refrigerator for later.
It'll keep for around 4-5 days and, because kale is a rather sturdy green, can be enjoyed all week long without getting soggy. Pretty awesome, eh? If you wind up with extra dressing [I had a little!] save it to drizzle over leftovers!

Feel free to top it with a sprinkle of your favorite healthy salad toppers! Right now I'm loving toasted sesame seeds and shelled hemp seeds.Nutrition Facts below are estimated using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed and enjoy!
