"Creating delicious variations on the traditional side salad is something I love to do," Julie explains. "This recipe requires minimal preparation and can be put together in the 10 minutes before you serve your main meal. Kale is an ingredient that I tend to use a lot because of its amazing nutritional value. Adding lime juice to the salad dressing helps bring out the flavour of te other ingredients."
