Orange Poppy Seed Kale Salad Dressing Recipe

How I Get My Kids To Eat Kale

 

Now that summer is around the corner, I’m getting ready for all our outdoor dining (a.k.a our humble backyard) and our never ending summer bucket list. Anyone else wish summer lasted a little longer?

So to get into the summer spirit, I’m sharing our go-to summer salad and homemade dressing. This Orange Poppy Seed Kale Salad is always a huge hit with our friends and family.  The best part? The salad dressing is super easy to whip up and I bet you already have most of the ingredients needed in your kitchen pantry. Once you realize how easy it is to make vs buy, I’m hoping you’ll switch to the dark side. Especially knowing exactly what the ingredients are and being able to modify the sugar intake for your family. We also use dinosaur kale because its bumpy leaves resemble what dinosaur skin looked like and since my girls love dinosaurs, this somehow get them to be interested. But the salad dressing is what really gets my kids to eat the kale.
