Kale Salad

Healthy Fact of the Day

Kale is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium and iron. It's also a great source of antioxidants and fiber, making this salad a deliciously healthy choice.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 large bunch kale, stems removed and leaves finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

 

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped kale leaves, dried cranberries, sliced almonds, and crumbled feta cheese.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

  3. Drizzle the dressing over the kale salad and toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.

  4. Let the salad stand for 5-10 minutes to allow the kale to soften slightly and absorb the flavors of the dressing.

  5. Toss the salad again before serving to distribute the dressing and ingredients.

  6. Optionally, you can top the salad with additional sliced almonds or feta cheese for garnish.

Enjoy this flavorful and crunchy kale salad, a perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and nutty flavors that will delight your taste buds while nourishing your body.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Five Ways to Use Cottage Cheese That Are Actually Worth the Hype

Cottage cheese earns its viral moment nutritionally — a single cup delivers around 25 grams of protein, which rivals chicken breast ounce for ounce. It’s also high in casein protein, which digests slowly and keeps you full significantly longer than whey-based sources. Look for full-fat or 2% versions rather than fat-free — the fat helps with satiety and carries the flavor in a way the fat-free version simply doesn’t. If sodium is a concern, give it a quick rinse in a fine mesh strainer, which removes a meaningful amount without affecting texture.

Why Heat Changes Everything: The Science of a Summer Kitchen

High ambient temperatures in the kitchen can significantly affect the nutrient retention of cooking oils — oils that are heated past their smoke point undergo oxidation that produces harmful compounds including aldehydes and acrolein, which have been associated with inflammatory effects in research. Using oils with higher smoke points for high-heat August cooking — avocado oil, refined coconut oil, clarified butter — reduces the formation of these compounds compared to using delicate oils like extra virgin olive oil at temperatures that exceed their smoke point. Reserving extra virgin olive oil for finishing and dressing rather than high-heat cooking is both a culinary and a nutritional best practice, and particularly relevant in the August kitchen where oils reach higher temperatures more quickly.
