Kale Veggie Salad

95 grams Kale, ripped into bitesize pieces.
This is about 3.4 oz. More
than a cup of well packed Kale, less than 2 cups. I weighed it
on my food scale.

½ C Corn kernels, canned
¼ C Carrot, grated
6 grape tomatoes, halved
7 olives, canned, pitted, halved
1 radish, large, sliced
½ Pear, chopped
3 slices fake bacon (Morningstar), cooked, broken into pieces
2 T Balsamic V and Oil Salad Dressing (Safeway Select)

Toss all ingredients except the dressing. Top with the dressing.

The mix of flavors was quite good. This is a lot of kale to eat for a serving of salad. The salad could have used more dressing as some of the kale was “dry,” but that would have added unnecessary calories and fat to the recipe.

Rated a 3.78 on the Kale Scale.
