Ingredients
- 6 cups kale leaves
- 0.5 cups crumbled feta cheese
- 0.5 cups dried cranberries
- 0.25 cups slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry using kitchen towels.
Step 2
Remove the tough stems from the kale and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the kale leaves and gently massage the kale with your hands for about 2-3 minutes. This will soften the leaves and reduce any bitterness.
Step 5
Add the crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, and slivered almonds to the bowl with the kale.
Step 6
Toss everything gently until the ingredients are evenly combined and coated in the dressing.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plate.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving for a slightly cooler salad.
