Fresh Kale Salad
This fresh kale salad is a healthy, simple, and incredibly tasty winter salad featuring massaged raw kale tossed with a zesty honey‑mustard dressing, crunchy roasted nuts, and crisp apple slices — making it a perfect side dish (or even a main when paired with protein) that’s full of texture and flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Spread pecans on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Step 2
Place all dressing ingredients in a screw-top jar, seal, and shake vigorously until combined. Season to taste with more mustard (for more spice), honey (for more sweetness), or lemon juice (for more acidity).
- Step 3
Remove the ribs and stems from the kale leaves and wash them thoroughly, then spin them dry if possible. Place the kale and dressing in a large bowl and massage the kale vigorously with your hands for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the leaves are nice and soft and dark green.
- Step 4
Roughly chop the nuts and cut the apple into thin strips or slices. Add both to the kale, stir the salad well, and then serve.
