Description

This kale and spinach salad is nutrient-dense comfort food at its finest. I’m not being dramatic when I tell you I could eat this for lunch every day!

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale (curly, green, purple, Tuscan, etc), leaves removed from ribs and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 apple, cubed
  • 3 oz extra sharp white cheddar cheese, cubed
  • ½ cup candied walnuts, roughly chopped
  • Balsamic fig dressing

Instructions

  1. Place the kale in a large bowl and drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil and add a pinch of salt. Using your hands rub the oil into the kale, massaging it for 3-4 minutes until softened and glossy.
  2. Add the spinach leaves, apple, sharp white cheddar, walnuts and toss gently to combine.
  3. Whisk or blend the balsamic fig dressing.
  4. Drizzle dressing over the salad. Add a few cracks of black pepper. DIG IN.
