Kale Medley (Power Green) Salad with Sesame Garlic Dressing

Sorry that it took so long to post this recipe on my blog since I said I'd share it to a mom at my son's school potluck dinner who enjoyed my salad. It's an amazing tasting, colorful salad. This has became one of my favorite salads too :)

I found it from another food blog and changed some of the ingredients.
It is a refreshing spring salad!
