Description

A refreshing salad featuring savory kale, shredded squash, and caramelized lemon.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium yellow squash, shredded
  • 1 medium zucchini, shredded
  • 4 cups curly kale, stems removed and finely chopped
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
