Why you should try out this recipe
Salads are usually not the first dish to come to mind when you want to eat something, especially at a restaurant. However, this salad is hands down the best salad you can opt for. It’s so good that people often substitute it for fries as a side and these aren’t people who are looking for healthier options.Â
The bitterness of the kale infuses with the mint and mustard flavors giving it an exotic taste that my palate has loved since the first bite. Since Hillstone does not put out their recipe publicly, this is the closest I have gotten to recreating this salad.Â
So, if you’re craving a salad and can’t make your way to a Hillstone Restaurant, you have got to try it out.Â
Looking at the nutritional benefits of this salad…
This salad gives you a boost of vitamins and minerals and all things good. Kale is considered to be one of the superfoods due to its dense nutrient content. It’s a rich source of vitamins such as A, K, C, B6, Manganese, potassium, copper, and magnesium.Â
