Salad Ingredients
- 4 cups kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans), roughly chopped
Vinaigrette Dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Massage the kale: Place the chopped kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with a small pinch of salt and gently massage the leaves with your hands for about 2-3 minutes until they soften and become tender.
- Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined and emulsified.
- Toss the salad: Add the sliced peaches, fresh blueberries, and chopped nuts to the massaged kale. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Massage the kale well to break down its fibrous texture, making it more enjoyable to eat.
- You can substitute the peaches with nectarines or plums if preferred.
- Use toasted nuts for extra crunch and flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness of the vinaigrette by adding more or less honey/maple syrup according to taste.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
