Rainbow Kale Salad

If I were a salad, this is what I’d be. Colorful, flavorful, and crunchy—what more could you want?

It should come as no surprise that I—the creator of bite-size tie-dye cupcakes—love a salad packed with color. It’s filled with all of my favorite vegetables and gives you a few moments to relax and lean into chopping. Chopping is one of the few times I have to myself, so I embrace the task as often as possible. Plus, this salad gives you great practice if you’re just getting into chopping, since nearly every vegetable requires a thin cut one way and a confetti chop the next. Pour on the miso vinaigrette and top it with your favorite protein (grilled chicken, tofu, and salmon work well) and you have a hearty meal filled with color and nourishment.
