Why You’ll Love This Salad
- Flavor Harmony: The burst of sweetness from grapes perfectly balances the tang of the feta.
- Perfect for Meal Prep: Unlike spinach, kale won’t wilt quickly, making this great for tomorrow’s lunch.
- Massaged Kale Secret: Massaging the kale softens the texture and removes the bitterness.
Fresh Ingredients
- 5-6 cups Chopped Kale (ribs removed)
- 1 cup Red Seedless Grapes (halved)
- 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (crumbled)
- 1/4 cup Toasted Walnuts or Pecans
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Honey or Maple Syrup
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Massage the Kale: Place chopped kale in a large bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Use your hands to “massage” the leaves for 2-3 minutes until they become dark green and tender.
- Prepare the Toppings: Halve the grapes and toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small jar, combine lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Shake well.
- Assemble: Add grapes, walnuts, and feta to the kale. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently.
Pro Tip: Add some sliced grilled chicken or chickpeas to turn this side salad into a filling main course!
