This salad is DELICIOUS! The kale massaging made such a difference! Everyone I shared this with is asking for the recipe! I used honey in the dressing, and it was delicious!
The chicken alone is fabulously tender and flavorful! Thank you!

I made this salad for a luncheon. It was delicious! Thank you!
I loved this salad! I love the combination of Kale and Spinach. The Apricot vinaigrette was delicious! I serve it with and without the chicken.
