By Jen

↓ Jump to Recipe

When spring arrives our dinner plates are suddenly piled high with salad...am I right? We try and eat salads in the winter, but they don't feed our warm, comfort food needs. So, when the warmer weather arrives it is time to think of picnics in the park and salads. Somehow my girls have fallen in love with kale and brussel sprouts. It took many creative attempts to win them over, but I did. When we were sitting down to a dinner of my husband's famous chicken burgers and needed a side dish I decided to throw some of our favourites into the salad bowl together...kale, brussel sprouts and potato salad. Delicious, nutritious and simple to make. kale, brussel sprouts and potato salad
