Do you have a special recipe that you just love to make when the weather gets warmer? I do and it might not be what you think! Lots of leafy greens piled high with various veggies and proteins are the kind of meals I could eat every day!

Today’s Warm Kale & Bacon Salad is the perfect example of my favorite kind of summer meal. It can be served alone as a delicious lunch or paired with a dinner like this Ultimate Cheeseburger!

How to Make a Delicious Kale Salad

Not too many people like the taste of plain raw kale. Adding bold flavored ingredients to this green superfood elevate it to the next level of delish!

This Warm Kale Salad is the perfect blend of nutrition and flavor.

You’ll need the following ingredients:

• Fresh kale (I used curly kale)
• Sweet onions
• Sliced Portabella mushrooms (you can use your favorite).
• Crumbled slices of hickory smoked bacon (crispy of course)
• Provolone cheese
• Champagne vinegar

This the TASTIEST kale salad ever!

Don’t believe me? Check out all these yummy pictures! Even the picky kids ate most of their meals which is a win in my book. They call the kale little tree tops and love the slightly sweet onions and mushrooms.
