I’m known for making my salads and dressings from scratch but every once in a while I’ll need a quick side dish for a last-minute get together.  This is my go to salad when I need something spur of the moment.

Costco carries a great Sweet Kale Salad Kit by Eat Smart.  If you don’t belong to Costco, you can click on the Eat Smart link and find another grocery store that carries this delicious salad.  Even if you prefer to make it from scratch, you will want to take note of the ingredients.  It’s a great combination of flavors.

Eat Smart Sweet Kale Salad

The Sweet Kale Salad Kit comes with the vegetables already shredded and cut.  The pumpkins seeds, dried cranberries and poppy seed dressing are in separate pouches inside the bag.

Seven Super Foods

The salad kit includes kale, green cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, chicory, roasted pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries.  It’s a wonderful combination of sweet, salty and crunchy.

The dressing that comes in the kit is a delicious poppy seed dressing.  There are two separate packets of dressing so you can use as much as you like.  You can transport the kale salad to a picnic or barbecue in your salad bowl and add the dressing at the last-minute.
