This tasty salad is quick and simple to make and packs a punch of nutrients like vitamin C, folate, vitamin K, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and B vitamins. It’s high in fiber, bright in color, and delivers a dose of healthy fats as well. And my little one approves too, so win-win!
I served this one up with my Orange Poppy Dressing and it goes well with Basic Balsamic Vinaigrette too.
Citrus Kale Salad
Ingredients
- 6 oz. chopped kale all stems removed
- 2 oranges
- 3 T. chopped pecans
- 1 T. flax seeds
- 1/4 c. feta cheese crumbles
Instructions
-
Rinse and dry the kale, remove center stems (if applicable), and chop into bite sized pieces. Place the kale into a large bowl.
-
Segment the oranges into a seperate bowl or onto a plate. After removing all segments, squeeze the excess juice from the orange fibers over the kale.
-
Massage the kale by hand to break down the cell structure. This makes the kale more vibrant in color, as well as less bitter and easier to digest.
-
Add the oranges, pecans, flaxseed, and feta to the kale and toss to combine.
-
Add dressing of choice and serve immediately.
