Asian Kale Salad

I have been preparing this Asian kale salad for many years and have served it in my restaurants and has been a successful dish. It is not only tasty but healthy and is prepared with all natural and organic ingredients and is in accord with my training as a macrobiotic chef.

I hope you enjoy it as much as my customers have enjoyed it.

This healthy Asian kale salad tastes especially best when it is made 1 hour prior to serving if you have the time, however can be served anytime.

I always recommend organic when possible, this not only tastes superior but you can count on it having little or no bad elements like pesticides.
