This Kale Salad recipe is full of chopped kale and broccoli along with walnuts, dried cherries and a sweet and sour dressing. Inspired by the Chick-fil-A superfood salad!
Rinse kale and broccoli and chop into bite size pieces (discarding the stems.)
The next step is super crucial. To soften up the kale, you need to massage it. Put the chopped kale in a bowl and top with about a tablespoon lemon juice and olive oil. Use clean hands to massage for about 3 minutes to soften the leaves.
Add the chopped broccoli in with the massaged kale.
Then toss in the dried cranberries (or cherries) and chopped walnuts.
Pour dressing on top.
Toss it all together and coat all the veggies as best as possible.
Cover with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for at least 2 hours. Then serve.
Notes
To make your own sweet and sour dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
Whisk everything to combine then pour over salad and stir.
