Kale was a superfood I had yet to fully appreciate. I could mask the flavor in green smoothies but it wasn't until Pam introduced me to this salad that now I not only enjoy kale but actually crave it! This salad has a little bit of everything in it- sweet, salty, citrus, and fully satisfying. It is an easy go to healthy lunch option or a perfect dinner appetizer for when guests come over.
Ingredients
Salad
- 1 bunch of kale, stems removed, washed and patted dry
- 1/3 cup of dried cranberries (or you can use raisins if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup of pine nuts
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
Dressing
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Prepare dressing by mixing together lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper
- In a food processor (or if you don't have one I used my vitamix on a low speed) process kale into small chopped pieces
- Add chopped kale, pine nuts, cheese, and dried cranberries to dressing
- Mix everything together then serve into salad bowl
Healthy and delicious! Hope you enjoy!
