Ingredients
- 8 cups finely chopped kale
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup candied walnuts
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 2 ounces goat cheese (feta would be another great substitute)
Dressing
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- This recipe calls for 8 cups finely chopped kale. I like to remove the thick ribs of the kale, then finely chop it with a pairing knife. After that, I add it to the measuring cup to get 8 cups.
- Add the kale to a salad bowl. Add a small pinch of salt and massage it into the leaves. The leaves will soften quickly.
- Top with the goat cheese, dried cranberries, and candied walnuts.
- Add half the dressing, and leave the rest on the side for guests to dress their salad to taste.
