Kale me crazy…but this is probably one of my favorite salads EVER. The flavor combo is to die for and it has the perfect crunchiness and sweetness! I know many of us are tired of hearing about kale in the media and how it reaps so many health benefits, but it’s true. Kale is loaded with antioxidant vitamins A, K, and C and is a good source of essential minerals such as potassium, copper, iron, and phosphorus. To top it off, just one cup of this super food is only about 40 calories. woo-hoo!

I love everything going on in this salad from the feta cheese to the bulgar and I hope you do too!. Other grain substitutions for the salad could be quinoa, wheat berries, farro, or wild rice. I am a big fan of Southern Living Magazine and I adapted the recipe from there.  I encourage you all to browse the rest of my blog for more healthy (mostly) recipes!
