Chopped Kale & Mixed Greens Salad

Hey Friends!  So last night, I will admit I started dinner a little later than usual, but it was worth it.  I made the most delicious chopped salad recipe.  I made a kale, mixed green, and iceberg lettuce salad.  I will say that it was a hit. The bowl was clean and I actually made enough for another day.  I thought I would pop in today and share the recipe with you.  This is definitely a keeper and I plan on putting on my list of summer salad.
