Recipe of the Week: Kale Caesar Salad!

Hola Readers!  Keeping up with my "getting healthier" mission, this week's recipe is one of my favorite salads.  To be honest, I love salads.  Caesar salad being my favorite.  Well, this recipe calls for kale.  And I love kale too.  My first taste of kale was in my morning green juices, which is something I'm meaning to get back to doing as well.  Kale is a good source of fiber.  As a matter of fact, it is high in fiber creating the bulk needed to help keep you full for a good amount of time.  Here is another recipe from Clean & Delicious with Dani Spies.
