Overrun with limp lettuce, the produce section is not a happy place in the winter. This kale citrus salad doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It’s not a place-of-honour-at-the-summer-picnic salad. It doesn’t feature jewel-toned berries or fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes. It’s winter salad. It’s a make-the-most-of-what-we’ve-got salad. It’s not pathetic or lackluster, though. This salad is robust and flavourful and defiant. This salad doesn’t care that it’s winter.
