A Tropical Salad
Tropical “Dessert” Salad
I was ready for a different kind of salad, so I created this “tropical dessert” salad for a different taste. I used Kale as the green for this one. I also created a sweet dressing to put in it.
I wanted to add Kiwi also but forgot to pick them up when I was shopping for the ingredients.
I served this with crab cakes and wine for my husband and some neighbor buddies of ours.
