For Salad

I'm currently eating this and it's delicious. I added dill and tempeh bacon for extra protein. Yummy!

Loved it.   Thank you!  I didn't want to buy basil, so I left that out but it was still good.  Would you use dried basil in the dressing if you didn't have fresh?

Delicious and super easy! Love the dressing and all the veggies! Definitely a keeper!

So, it turns out that I'm not a big kale fan. I can't decide whether I will continue to make this with kale or switch out the greens, but I will definitely make it again! The roasted red pepper dressing is great and will probably be even better with a fresh pepper. All I had on hand were roasted red peppers in the jar. All around wonderful flavor and a great healthy dish! Thank you!

Just made this today - so yummy, flavorful and filling -  it will now go into recipe rotation - thank you!

I made this for dinner tonight and due to the amount of kale on hand, I added about 1-1&amp;1/2 cups of Napa cabbage. The dressing and combination of ingredients make this a flvour explosion with every bite.  I absolutely loved it and will undoubtedly make it more often.
