Sozo Fan-Favorite Salads
We made these two salads at a Wednesday Workshop with Chef Sam, and they were definitely crowd-pleasers! The first is a Tabbouleh, a bulgur wheat and parsley-based salad. The second is a Kale salad, tossed with a tangy lemon and olive oil dressing (even if you don’t typically eat kale – try this one out! It might change your mind!)
