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.

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

Steps:

  • Combine water and cranberries in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cranberries are soft and liquid is syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in honey, remove from the heat, and allow to cool.
  • Put kale and red onion in an 8-quart pot or a very large bowl.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds kale, washed (but not dried), stems removed, and cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add kale and salt and toss until well combined. Cover, reduce heat, and cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh kale. If you only have access to curly kale, remove the tough stems before cooking.
  • If you don't have pecans, you can substitute another type of nut, such as walnuts or almonds.
  • If you don't have dried cranberries, you can substitute another type of dried fruit, such as raisins or cherries.
  • If you want a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil before cooking the kale.
  • Serve this dish immediately. It is best when the kale is still crisp and tender.

Conclusion:

This sautéed kale with pecans and cranberries is a healthy and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is also a good source of fiber. The pecans and cranberries add a sweet and nutty flavor to the kale, and the balsamic vinegar adds a touch of acidity. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
