Healthy Christmas Salad

This is my second recipe featured on the Loving Earth website. See it here: lovingearth.net/recipes/christmas-salad. They recommended I do sweets rather than savoury recipes as people tend to prefer sweets (No big surprise there!) But I decided to create a savoury healthy recipe for the festive season to balance all the sweet and chocolate that is going to be eaten at Christmas!

Planning on eating a bit more than usual at Christmas?? (I am too - don't worry!) well this salad will help to balance out your Christmas lunch. This beautiful festive Christmas Kale Salad would not only look great on the table but will also bring a nice dose of health and nutrients on your plate. Be sure to load half your plate with this salad and you won't have to fill as bad the next day!

This salad is also perfect to take to BBQs all summer long -  not just for Christmas day.
