A Leafy Salad That Tastes Better with Age
We know all about kale's impressive list of nutrients (iron, vitamin A, lutein and omega-3, just to name a few). But there's another reason to love the dark, leafy green: It's hearty enough to stand up to dressings that would wilt romaine or other lettuces, so you can prep it ahead of time and it'll still taste delicious (or even better) when served. This salad also includes colorful beets and sweet potatoes, shredded raw, so there's no need to cook them.
