Blackbird Kale Salad

If you know you know about this salad. When visiting Bozeman Blackbird Kitchen is a must for dinner. The food is fresh and the pizza is good as anywhere in Italy. However, I come here from the salad. I know it sounds so boring, but let me tell you, it will be the best kale salad you will ever have. I’ve recreated in my kitchen and is easily our go-to for salad.
