Chef Kim demonstrated how to make a very healthy salad with ingredients that were out of what you would think would be the norm for a salad. Such as brussel sprouts, a mix of hearty romaine and spinach, apples, quinoa and more. She showed me how to make a simple but yet delicious homemade dressing. The salad looked beautiful and full of color as she displayed it family style. I now see how easy it is to make a healthy homemade dressing and use different ingredients to make a yummy salad meal.
