Kale Orange Salad
This hearty Kale Salad is packed with creamy goat cheese, juicy orange segments, dried cranberries, and crunchy pepitas. A tangy citrus vinaigrette is the perfect finishing touch! The kale is massaged until tender, which also mellows the bitter flavor, then it’s tossed with fresh orange, chopped green onions, toasted pepitas (aka pumpkin seeds) and chewy dried cranberries. Creamy goat cheese is the final ingredient that makes this kale salad stand out from the crowd. This is a great side salad for the cooler months and can be assembled in advance.
