This copycat version of Mrs Green’s Hail To The Kale Salad is additively good – you’ll want to make a big batch and eat it for lunch throughout the week.
Copycat Mrs Green's Hail To The Kale Salad - so addictively good! Make a big batch and eat it for lunch throughout the week

A while back, I went to a church retreat called We Want More that was packed into a little over a day. It was an intense session as over 70 people gathered in search of something unique for themselves. To be honest, I hadn’t planned on going, but went as the dutiful spouse. But, once I got a whiff of what was to come during the full day session, I cancelled my Saturday plans and spent seven hours with a very special group of women that I got to know on a more intimate basis.

The question I had for myself going into the session was – what does God want me to do with my life? There have been times in my life when I’ve thought I had a crystal clear idea of what God’s calling was for me. The stars all seemed to be aligned and the path clear. But, as I’ve started walking down that path, somehow forks in the road have been placed before me and I feel stuck at a crossroad.

I’m very fortunate in that I had my career early on before I had kids and when my boys were young, so I feel fulfilled from that standpoint. My college and graduate education didn’t go to waste, and I was able to sock away some good savings from those years of working.

So, now I feel that it’s my time to give back and help others, whether it’s through this blog or cooking for people in my community. I’m still not sure what my calling is, so I’m just trying to be patient and waiting on God. Meanwhile, I’ve been cooking for a friend and made this copycat version of Mrs Green’s Hail To The Kale Salad. I had bought her a small container the other day and she really liked it, so I decided to try making it at home. It’s really a very simple salad and I have to say I like mine even better.

    Hi Jeanette, We had this last night, after it sat for about an hour in the fridge. Love it! Had to make a simple sub as I didn’t have flax oil, so I used sesame oil. My lemon was too big, and so the dressing was a bit tart. I toned it down with a few drops of raw maple syrup. Didn’t set out to make any changes, but, you know…. 😉 This Salad recipe is SO similar to one I had at the “Blue Angel” restaurant in So. Lake Tahoe, that it’s uncanny. Same lovely taste! The only difference was theirs had dried cranberries and tiny, tiny flecks of cauliflower in it. The cauliflower was so small, at first I thought it was little crumbles of feta. I took a picture of the salad, and had the server write down the dressing ingredients for me to re-create at home. I have made it once; then “yours” last night. I’m SO in love! Luckily for me, my hubby doesn’t like Kale, so it’s ALL MINE! 😉 Yay for L/O’s for lunch boxes during the week!!

    Made this as part of our Fathers’ Day feast, and it was great. The dressing is really tasty, and I love the combination of seeds to sprinkle on top. We kept the seeds separate, so that they wouldn’t get soggy in leftovers Thanks for a wonderful, healthy, and beautiful to look at salad.

    I may have said this before, but this is a “killer-good” salad, even for non kale lovers. I have made it a bunch of times, and each time, I’m glad I did. 😉
