Dressing In Style

With kale in abundance at the farmers' market, I decided to make an elegant and simple salad to impress. I wanted a light vinaigrette to intensify the beauty and flavors of my salad. Vinaigrette aux Herbes was the perfect vinaigrette; its bright and fresh flavors enhanced this magnificent spring salad.
