Thank you! We love "feel good" recipes!
Rachel on 2026-03-10 (5 stars): Perfect antidote to mitigate bad food choices. So tasty. Letting the kale marinate is a genius technique. This will be a staple dish from now on.
Eva on 2026-02-08 (5 stars): I can't say I've ever craved a salad but after making this once that is now the case. YUM! The pistachios give the perfect salt. The dressing is so good. I'm obsessed!
Katie Waltz on 2026-02-05 (5 stars): This salad is seriously amazing. I’ve craved it nearly every day since I first made it a month ago. So easy and so healthy!
A on 2025-09-30 (5 stars): This was delicious. I'm not a kale lover, but now, I know to let soften with the dressing. I'll definitely be meal prepping with this!
Bethany W on 2025-09-08 (5 stars): Really enjoyed the salad! Made it with simple grilled chicken and had it for lunch. I can’t wait for lunch tomorrow. Very easy to pull together. I did not have pistachios so I used pine nuts.
Sonya on 2025-09-08 (5 stars): Very easy and delicious, paired with salmon. Will definitely make again and again.
