Loving: Kale Chicken Salad Recipe
The. Best. Salad. Ever.
To be completely and utterly honest… I am obsessed with this salad. like really (really) obsessed with it. So I just had to share with you!
A few weeks ago I was watching Courtney Kerr’s instagram stories and she mentioned that her friend makes her own at home Hillstone’s Kale Chicken Salad and I stopped in my tracks. Hillstone’s Kale Chicken salad is quite literally my favorite thing on this earth. I order it every single time I go along with a side of fries (duh) and I often crave this salad. So the thought of being able to make it at home was mind-blowing, clearly. I instantly “swiped up” to her friend’s site, The Defining Dish, and have been making it at least once a week ever since!
And last week I put a little peek of the salad on my Instagram stories and my inbox flooded with recipe questions, so I knew that you too would love this recipe as much as I do!
The Best Kale Chicken Salad

Oh my gosh, I tried this today for lunch and I loved it!! I’m not a huge kale fan (unless it’s in my smoothie) but the dressing was so good and disguised the “kale-ness”. Lol.
Thanks so much for the recipe! This will be a new lunch favourite! 🙂
Oh I love that!!! Isn’t it THE BEST?!
