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.
If you want to amp up the protein content, feel free to add grilled chicken or roasted chickpeas for a vegan-friendly option. You could even add a side of sourdough bread to make it more filling and to promote gut health.
