It's not fancy, but I tried the Sweet Kale Mix from Costco a few months back and now we don't want a salad without it! We mix it with half romaine and then whatever other veggies we have on hand. I actually don't like either kale or brussels sprouts (which are part of the mix), but in this combination/preparation they are really delicious. The dressing is really good too. I was saving the packets and putting them with salads I was taking people for new baby meals or whatever, but then I tasted it. Now they don't go anywhere but on our salads. Emilie |

Emilie, Sounds good! A couple weeks ago my grocer had baby Tuscan kale in bulk; I made a salad with that and chickpeas and other veggies and blue cheese dressing. Was great. |

My current love is from Jeruselem; baby spinach, red onions, dates and pita and almonds that have been fried in butter with chili flakes and sumac. It is sauced with lemon juice and olive oil. I also make a sweet potato and black bean salad that pleases me mightily. Mary |

Mary, Would you please post that recipe for your black bean and sweet potato salad? Black beans are my favorite beans for using in Mexican cooking, and I also use them in salads a lot, so that caught my eye, for sure. |

I second Dave's request, Mary. That salad sounds delicious! Emilie p.s. Speaking of red onions, I started making marinated red onions after I got the newest Nordstrom cookbook recently and made their strawberry & chicken salad (the onion recipe is within the salad recipe). Love everything about that salad but the onions are the star. Now I put them on almost everything except breakfast! |

Emily, we also use that kale mix from Costco when we are pinched for time. Throw in some tomatoes and avocado and even a little chicken if we have some and it is a really good, quick meal. |

I just made my trip to Costco last week (I go maybe once every couple of months) and I hadn't read these posts then. I'm disappointed that I didn't buy this kale salad. Friends are now telling me how good it is also. Why isn't it available in grocery stores? |

I don't know the recipe you are referring to, but there is another recipe I use from Rick Bayless that I have been making for many years, which I also put on countless salads and other foods. The marinating minimizes that raw onion taste and aftertaste, but they still have the onion taste, and they are delicious! |

Right now I am enjoying a salad posted on the Splendid Table website. It consists of corn, tomato, and avocado with a lime/extra virgin olive oil vinaigrette. It is delicious! |
