Kale Salad

Kale is a powerhouse of a food. High in fiber, vitamins A, C, K and iron, kale is a food that makes you feel good. This salad is super simple to prepare and high on the delicious scale. It holds up well for a picnic and can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge.




Kale Salad

1 bunch organic kale
10 oz. grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup pine nuts
1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ tsp. sea salt
Fresh ground pepper

Tear kale off of stem into bite size pieces (approximately 1 inch). Wash kale well and dry. Place in large salad bowl. Add in the tomatoes, cranberries and pine nuts. In a smaller bowl, juice ½ the lemon and remove any seeds. Whisk in the olive oil, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Pour lemon juice mixture over the kale and mix with hands until evenly coated. Enjoy!
