Kale Salad With Apples Cheddar And Nuts Recipes

KALE AND APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the kale, toss to coat and let stand 10 minutes.
• While the kale stands, cut the dates into thin slivers and the apple into thin matchsticks. Add the dates, apples, almonds and cheese to the kale. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.

KALE SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES AND CASHEWS

Steps:

• Strip the kale leaves off the stems. Cut into ribbons and place in a large bowl.
• With a little olive oil rubbed into your palms, massage the kale for a minute or so, until it becomes bright green and softens a bit.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients and serve at room temperature.

DEB'S KALE SALAD WITH APPLE, CRANBERRIES AND PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spread the pecans on a baking tray. Toast them until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 to 10 minutes, tossing them once or twice to make sure they bake evenly. Remove the tray from the oven and set them aside to cool.
• Pull the kale leaves off from the tough stems and discard the stems. Use a chef's knife to chop the kale into small, bite-sized pieces. Transfer the kale to a big salad bowl. Sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the kale and massage the leaves with your hands by lightly scrunching big handfuls at a time, until the leaves are darker in color and fragrant.
• Thinly slice the radishes (this is easier to do if you first chop off the root end so you can place the base of the radish flat against your cutting board). Add them to the bowl.
• Coarsely chop the pecans and cranberries (or cherries) and add them to the bowl. Chop the apple into small, bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl as well. Crumble the goat cheese over the top.
• In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together and pour the dressing over the salad. Toss until the salad is evenly coated with dressing. Serve immediately, or for even better flavor, let the salad marinate in the dressing for 10 to 20 minutes beforehand.

KALE SALAD WITH APPLES AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Combine the kale, almonds, apple and Cheddar in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, salt, garlic and olive oil. Add to the salad, and toss well. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top, and serve.

KALE SALAD

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, dijon mustard and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let rest in fridge while preparing remaining salad ingredients.
• Remove kale leaves from thick ribs. Rinse and run leaves through a salad spinner to dry well. Working in batches on a cutting board, gather and bunch kale leaves together and thinly slice creating ribbons.
• Transfer kale to a very large bowl along with apples, carrots, almonds, cheddar cheese and red onion.
• Whisk dressing again then pour over salad. Toss well to evenly coat.
• Serve within a few hours for best results.

KALE, APPLE AND PECAN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F. Place the pecans on a baking sheet and roast until they are browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool. Reserve ¼ cup of pecan halves. Transfer the remaining nuts to a flat surface and coarsely chop; set aside.
• Whisk the vinegar, honey, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Drizzle in the oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly until the dressing is well blended.
• Add the kale, radicchio and celery to the bowl of dressing and toss to thoroughly coat the greens. Stir in the apple slices, cheese and remaining nuts. Top with reserved pecan halves.
