Chicken Kale Salad

If you don’t like kale, this Chicken Kale Salad might just change all that. If you do like kale, you will love this salad. I’m always looking for things to make with grilled chicken. Because I work full time I don’t have a lot of time for dinner prep and certainly don’t have hours after work to wait for food to get ready. This salad requires very little of both. It’s is great as dinner or lunch on its own or as a side. You can prepare everything up to a few days before and then toss them all together before serving. I used my abundant supply of colorful carrots that I recently bought at the farmers market to add some sweetness and color to the salad. This salad is filling and low carb. My in-house food critic declared it delicious.
