Best 5 Kale And Feta Salad Recipes

KALE AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Massage kale with salt in a large mixing bowl for 2 minutes. Pour vinegar over the kale and toss to coat. Fold apple, feta cheese, currants, and pine nuts into the kale.

COUSCOUS SALAD WITH KALE, TOMATOES, CRANBERRIES, AND FETA

Steps:

• Remove kale leaves from stems; finely chop leaves and massage with oil in a large bowl until dark green and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with kosher salt. Add feta cheese, cranberries, couscous, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
• Squeeze lemon juice over ingredients and toss until blended.

KALE AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Toast the pumpkin seeds in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, watching carefully, stirring until light brown, about 5 minutes.
• 2. Combine the kale, feta, and onions in a large bowl. Toss with the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the pumpkin seeds over the top and serve.

CUMIN STEAK WITH KALE, FENNEL AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Pat steak dry with paper towels and place in a resealable bag or large bowl with 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic and cumin. Toss to coat and set aside for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the salad: Whisk together the remaining lemon juice and olive oil. Add the kale and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and massage the dressing into the kale to soften it. Add the fennel, feta and raisins, if using, and toss vigorously until evenly mixed.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler. Remove the steak from the marinade and let the excess drip off. (A dry steak yields a better, crisper sear.) Grill the meat until seared and cooked to taste, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, or broil until charred, 2 to 5 minutes per side.
• Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving, with the salad alongside.

KALE SALAD WITH ROASTED CHICKPEAS AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450F and heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and chickpeas and sauté for 2 minutes, until the onion has started to soften. Add the paprika and the salt, and toss to combine. Spread the chickpeas into an even layer, and place the pan in the preheated oven and let the chickpeas roast for 20 minutes, until golden brown. While the chickpeas roast, place the kale in a large bowl and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients, then pour them over the kale. Using your hands, massage the dressing into the kale until the kale begins to break down and soften. It should decrease in volume by about 1/3. Let the kale sit at room temperature to soften while the chickpeas finish roasting. Once the chickpeas are finished, remove them from the pan and place them on top of the kale along with the diced feta. Toss to combine thoroughly, then serve. You can also omit the red onion, just roast the chick peas in the oven.)
