Tropical Kale Salad

This salad will change the way you think about kale. The basil and mango add brightness to this salad and the nuts add the perfect crunch. It is really the dressing that takes inspiration from the Caribbean with the use of crushed red pepper and a hint of allspice. As kale is a tough green, it is important to dress the salad a half hour before serving so the flavor of the dressing can penetrate the greens.
