My daughter really enjoyed this recipe!! She has never eaten kale before (nor did she want to) and had a huge bowl full of this salad. It was a hit and a “must make”. You and your kids will love this nutritious dish. Beets are high in vitamin C, fiber, magnesium and folate (great for expecting mamas!). Kale is incredibly high in fiber, vitamins and nutrients. I used gluten free brown rice in this recipe which is also high in fiber making this dish a winner all around! Full of fiber and vitamin rich. Follow the simple directions below.
