Sweet Summer Kale Salad

Ingredients

Maple Dijon Dressing:

  • Juice of 4 large lemons
  • 3 T. Dijon mustard
  • 1-2 T. maple syrup
  • 3 T. light coconut milk
  • 2 t. avocado oil

Kale Salad:

  • 2 bunches of fresh kale stems removed, washed, and chopped finely
  • Avocado oil spray I use Chosen Foods brand
  • 2 large juicy peaches
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ¼ cup dried apricots
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts pistachios, almonds, or pecans
  • ½ avocado diced finely
  • 2 oz. goat cheese crumbled
  • 1-1.5 cups cooked quinoa or farro cooked according to package

Instructions

  • Spray kale lightly with avocado oil and massage for about 1 minute until it begins to soften.  Let it sit as you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Mix all dressing ingredients in a jar and whisk or shake to combine.
  • Pour half of the dressing on the kale, and toss to coat.
  • Mix in all the other ingredients and pour on more dressing, reserving a bit for right before serving as the kale will absorb it as it sits.

Notes

Note: Salad is good for a few days, as kale is a heartier lettuce and won’t wilt like most salad greens. Add grilled or rotisserie chicken and make it a meal!
