A beautiful and delicious kale salad with strawberries, walnuts, and red onions.
Prep Time15 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Ingredients
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
freshly cracked pepper
5-6 oz. (about 5 cups) fresh kale, stems removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup walnut halves or pieces
1 1/2 cups sliced or quartered strawberries
1/2 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled soft cheese, optional (I like Treeline dairy-free)
edible flowers, optional
Instructions
For the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, syrup, oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or jar.
Fill a large salad bowl with the kale pieces. Massage the dressing into the kale with your hands until all the pieces are coated, using as much dressing as you would like. I used all the dressing. Top kale with the walnuts, strawberries, and red onion. Sometimes I serve this salad with some crumbled cheese for more flavor and creamy texture. If I'm bringing this kale salad to a spring or summer party I like to garnish with a few edible flowers.
