Ma’am, I’ve prepared kale salad following your instructions. But I’ve used carrots n cherry tomatoes too along with cabbage n apple, kale. Also instead of olive oil I’ve used half tsp of sesame oil. Can we use sesame oil for dressing?? It tasted good but I’m not sure though. Can you please clarify. Thank you!!

We have used olive oil because it is healthy but, if you like the taste of sesame oil then please go ahead. Try not to combine two oils though.

Kale is extremely healthy and goes really well with apple. Kale is bitter and apple is sweet. This mixed in with healthy cabbage and a honey based dressing makes a healthy salad. Eaten this many times and totally love it.
