Raw Kale Salad

http://www.elanaspantry.com/salads/raw-kale-salad/ While the boys were on break during the holidays we got really into kale. My older one prefers his steamed and tops it with umeboshi vinegar and toasted sesame oil. The little one, however, joins us in eating my raw kale concoctions. These raw salads are super healthy, crunchy and quite delicious. We are hooked on them.
