The key ingredient to this Southwestern Kale Salad is the dressing. This dressing is from my favorite Southwestern Pasta Salad. I love that salad all because of the dressing. And whenever we have taco salad I have an excuse to make it. I drench my salad with it. But don’t you worry just add a drizzle to this salad and then serve the remaining dressing on the side so those that want more can add it. Always easier to add more than to try to wipe off your kale when you get too much, right?

With Spring here and summer right around the corner, I am in the mood for salad. In fact, 3 out of our 5 weekly meals are salad. Kale Caesar Salad and Cobb Salad and then this beauty. I thought my kids would groan and whine but luckily they gobbled them all up, it did help that I served all of them with chicken, making the salad part more appealing. Bribery always works too. Not that I do that (wink, wink).

I love roughing it in the Rockies with family and friends and guiding backpacking trips. With my entire family just minutes away, I love cooking for the whole clan, whipping up a weekday family dinner, or delivering a meal to someone in need. I simply want people to feel my love through my food.
