To me, this Spring Crunch Salad is the epitome of spring. It has the perfect spring colour palette—shades of light green and pink; it’s full of delicious spring produce, and it’s incredibly fresh and crisp. Tossed in a tangy herby vinaigrette, each bite is bright …
The role of salad maker has somehow become my job at any and all family gatherings. I served this holiday kale salad at Christmas a couple of years ago, and it was a big hit with my family. This salad is on the lighter side …
