Chick-fil-A Superfood Side Copycat

One of my favorite things to order from Chick-fil-A would definitely be their Superfood Side. If they ever discontinue it, I am going to be a very sad customer!

They serve it in a little bitty cup, but if it were up to me, I would eat it out of a huge salad bowl. I think it’s THAT good.

Chick-fil-A uses broccolini instead of regular broccoli, but regular broccoli works fine too. I highly recommend massaging your kale before chopping it up, though, because it helps make the salad more tender and the flavors marinate better together.
