This Kale Orange Cranberry Salad is super-fast to make, loaded with nutritional goodness, and absolutely delicious!
All hail the kale!!!
Iâve wanted to say that on the blog for a really long time! And since this recipe puts the beautiful green goddess front and center, I thought it was hail-worthy.
Did kale even exist 10 years ago? All I know is one day I was happily eating my spinach salad and then out of nowhere â poof, it appeared. And Iâve been tossing, juicing, baking, and growing it ever since.
I really like how substantial Kale is. Itâs so hearty that it stands up to acidic juices and dressings, plus the element of heat when baked or added to soup. Itâs also really filling so you never feel hungry after eating it.
Kale is also really easy to grow. And because itâs so hearty it can withstand temperatures as low as 25 degrees. It can even continue to grow if itâs covered in snow!
I planted Red Russian kale in my garden during the Fall of 2015 and Iâve had kale growing ever since. I just leave it there and let it go to seed, it basically replants itself and continues to grow, even in the Boston winters. Crazy â right!?
Fall 2015: Kale in the garden⦠& Spring 2016: still growing after a Boston winter!
Now you know why I âhail the kale,â huh!??
And if all of that is not enough, thereâs still so much moreâ¦
Kale is one of the healthiest and most nutritious plant foods around. For real.
If you didnât already know it, Iâm sure you would now agree that Kale is king!
And so is this salad I made with it!! Holla!
This Kale Orange Cranberry Salad takes 5 minutes to make and itâs highly addictive. After 4 portions the B man had to cut himself off from eating it (so much for it making you feel full!). LOL
Trust me B is the exception â he is an eating machine, and has the stomach capacity of an elephant.
This salad is so easy to prepare: You wash and dry the kale leaves. Then remove the stem and tear into small pieces. Zest one orange. Mix together the dressing which has fresh orange juice, cranberry juice, olive oil, honey or maple syrup and some salt and pepper.
Then toast some sliced almonds for 5 minutes on 350. Toss it all together and let it sit for 5 minutes so the leaves wilt just a bit. Sprinkle on the orange zest and enjoy!
Boom. Super flavorful, and super delicious!!! All hail the Kale Orange Cranberry Salad!!!
