Serve warm or place in fridge – covered – to chill and serve cold. Will keep well for up to a few days.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nNotes: <\/i>Add more cayenne and raw ginger for a spicier salad. If you want a thicker dressed salad – double the sauce recipe and fold as much as you’d like into the kale. You may also want to double the sauce recipe if using more kale and making a larger batch of salad. Really an awesome make-ahead dish!<\/p>\n
