Kale and brown rice salad with lemon dressing
Kale with lemon dressing is a great recipe for strengthening the immune system, as a preparation for the body to fight viruses and bacteria that attack at this time of year. Lemon will actually help the body absorb iron from kale, thanks to a large amount of vitamin C. Besides these two ingredients, I added brown rice to make this salad saturate you.
