Healthy Fact of the Day

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.
