Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Yes. You can massage the kale and mix the dressing ahead of time, then combine everything shortly before serving. If you want the salad to stay crisp, add the dressing at the end.

Do I need to cook the corn?

No. The recipe uses freeze-dried corn, so it can be added as-is. If you substitute another corn product, use one that is ready to eat or fully cooked.

What can I use instead of adobo seasoning?

If you don’t have adobo seasoning, use a mild savory seasoning blend or a simple mix of garlic powder, onion powder, and a little black pepper. Start small and adjust to taste.

How long should I massage the kale?

Massage it just until the leaves darken and soften, usually about a minute or two. The recipe then has the kale rest for 10 minutes, which helps improve the texture further.

Can I use a different vinegar?

Yes. White vinegar keeps the flavor sharp and clean, but apple cider vinegar or champagne vinegar would also work if you want a slightly softer tang.

How should I serve this salad?

Serve it chilled or at room temperature with the honey mustard dressing on the side or tossed in. It works well as a side dish or a light lunch.
