Recipe Notes

Notes

Kristen Bell shared that she ate the same salad almost every day for six weeks — because it’s “one of the only salads that actually feels like a meal.” The salad comes from Jemma Hollywood, where it appears on the menu as “Jame’s Kale, with a signature almond dressing, avocado, and Grana Padano.”
