Ingredients
-
2 bunches kale, stems and ribs removed, torn into bite-sized pieces. I prefer to cut into thin ribbons
-
1/2 cup dried cranberries, dried cherries are my favorite
-
1/2 cup fresh fruit, i.e.. apples, blueberries, pineapple, mango, etc
-
1/2 cup red onion, diced
-
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, shelled, I have used other nuts choose your favorite
-
vinaigrette
-
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
-
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Combine the four salad ingredients in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients and toss with the salad. * I like to massage the kale and dressing at this point. Just massage it with both hands for a few minutes. Toss in any additional fruits or berries.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour prior to serving to allow the flavors to develop. Serve and Enjoy!
- This is even better the next day and hold up well w/o wilting.
- NOTE: Use any type of nut or seed or fresh fruit. Try adding mango, watermelon or blueberries to the mix!
