I associate summer with salad for some reason. I don’t know exactly why. Maybe it’s the freshness, the bright colors, the healthy aspect of it that just reminds me of food that I would want to eat when the sun is shining and the temps are high.
When I think of fall and winter, I think comfort foods! Salad does not fall into that category, at least in my mind. Well this salad changes things! It is topped with roasted sweet potatoes (or use roasted butternut squash or sliced apples instead), cranberries, and almonds. No summer fruit is involved, like it is in my Kale Berry Salad. And then there is a wonderful Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing mixed in! All things fall and winter, right?
Just for the sake of doing something different, I tossed in Broccoli Cole Slaw. I love the color and added crunch it brought to the salad.
Check out the recipe below and please give it a try! I always love to read your comments and hear feedback, so please leave a comment below to let me know your thoughts about this salad. Have you ever made a massaged kale salad before? Have you ever eaten butternut squash or sweet potatoes on a salad before? Share, share, share!

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed
the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
