Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad

This was so easy to make! My 10 year old son made the dressing, for us!
I was rushing, and chopped the whole bunch of kale, and so, I didn't use all the sprouts.  My bowl wasn't big enough!  I did double the dressing.  I like dressing and it was so fluffy!  The longer the dressing sat, the more it was absorbed, and the less fluffy it was.  I even had it as an after dinner snack!
I had my son keep the turkey bacon on the side, and they crumbled it into their own salads.
