Kale Beet Salad with Ginger dressing is the perfect fall salad. The ginger dressing gives it a unique and warming flavour and the pecans add a protein crunch. Kale and beets are usually available all year round, but they are both in season during the fall.

Healing Properties of Ginger

What sets this salad apart from other Kale Beet Salads is the ginger dressing. I absolutely love ginger because of its spicy warming flavour. It actually has a lot of healing properties, the top 3 are:

• Relaxes the intestinal tract to reduce gas
• Eases nausea and motion sickness
• Contains gingerols which are a potent anti-inflammatory
