The refrigerator light goes on...
This Asian Kale Salad gets better on the second day. The flavors infuse into the kale and the saltiness and sweetness provide a great balance to the bitter kale and parsley and the aromatic spice. Serve this with a simple piece of fish for a great lunch or take the salad to your next pot luck dinner.
