KALE AND FETA SALAD



Kale and Feta Salad image

I've been making variations of this salad for years. I recently learned how to massage the kale and it makes a huge difference. I had a friend ask for my recipe and I realized I don't have one. This is my first attempt at writing a recipe, so please let me know how it works out! I like to change up the ingredients: sometimes a pear instead of an apple, cranberries instead of currants, Parmesan instead of feta, etc. Great as a side dish or by itself the next day for lunch!

KALE SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES



Kale Salad with Cranberries image

I originally combined several recipes for kale salad and made several versions over the last 5 years. Despite numerous requests, I did not write it down until last year and have since perfected it. Whenever I take it to a potluck, I always take an empty bowl home.

Time 3h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup water
½ cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon honey
16 ounces kale, stems removed and discarded, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
1 red onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup toasted walnuts, chopped

  • Put kale and red onion in an 8-quart pot or a very large bowl.
  • Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; pour over the kale and stir well.

SHEET-PAN BAKED FETA WITH BROCCOLINI, TOMATOES AND LEMON



Sheet-Pan Baked Feta With Broccolini, Tomatoes and Lemon image

When baked, feta gains an almost creamy texture, similar to goat cheese but with feta's characteristic tang. In this easy vegetarian sheet-pan dinner, broccolini (or broccoli), grape tomatoes and lemon slices roast alongside the feta until the broccolini crisp, the tomatoes burst and the lemon rinds soften. (Remember, broccolini has a tender, delicious stalk so only the bottom 1/2-inch needs to be trimmed.) Serve this dish over a pile of orzo for a complete meal. If you like, cut the broccolini, feta and lemon into bite-size pieces and toss with the orzo.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed, thick stalks split lengthwise, or broccoli, stalks trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved (about 2 cups)
1 small red onion, peeled, quartered and cut into 2-inch wedges
1 lemon, 1/2 cut into thin rounds and the remaining 1/2 left intact, for serving
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 (6- to 8-ounce) blocks feta, cut into 1-inch slices
Cooked orzo or farro, for serving
1/2 cup fresh basil or cilantro leaves and fine stems, roughly chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack set in the lower third. On a sheet pan, combine the broccolini, tomatoes, onion and lemon slices with the olive oil and toss. Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It's OK if they break apart a little.)
  • Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.
  • Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.

Tips:

  • Use fresh kale for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can thinly slice the red onions by hand.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked quinoa.
  • If you don't have feta cheese, you can use another type of cheese, such as goat cheese or Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This feta cheese, kale, and red onion salad is a healthy and delicious side dish or main course. It's packed with nutrients and flavor, and it's easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this salad a try!
