Recipe Notes and Variations

• We encourage you to experiment with your favorite toppings or dressings to create your own signature superfood salad. Some of our favorite salad toppings include crunchy things, like toasted nuts or crushed tortilla chips, and fresh herbs like mint, cilantro, or basil.
• If raw kale tastes too tough or bitter for you, we recommend tossing it with the dressing ahead of time so it’s softer and more seasoned by the time you eat it. Alternatively, you could try the classic massage method.
