Keto Warm Kale Salad

Keto Recipes > Keto Lunch Recipes

Kale leaves pan-fried in butter then tossed with Dijon mustard dressing, and topped with crumbled feta cheese.  The dressing is my new favorite way to eat kale, and there’s something seriously satisfying about tucking into a bowl that’s both healthy and delicious.  This hearty salad works great as a nutrient-packed side dish for dinner, or simply as lunch.
