Kale is supposed to be the best possible green to put into your body, and according to, I don't know, Instagram, it will make you into a superhuman beach goddess. This has yet to happen to me. And I'm thinking it may have something to do with all of the cheese and the bacon I add to said kale? Please advise. Will forgo divinity if it means I get to keep eating this salad.
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 2 cup Brussels sprout ribbons (about 6 Brussels sprouts, chopped width-wise to create ribbons)
- 2 cup chopped kale
- 3 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
- Sprinkle of shelled sunflower seeds
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
