This sounds weird at first because the thought of anything mayo-ey in my food really grossed me out but this is so good! Its super quick, a great way to try a new grain and includes kale in a way I can actually eat it. Feel free to change it and make it better. My 2 year old loves it too. Serves 4 as a main dish, 6 as a side dish, respectively.
Serves: 4-6
