Ingredients
- 1 bunch of kale
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts, toasted or any other nuts
- 2 teaspoons local raw honey
- 3 tablespoons good olive oil
- Juice of one lemon approximately 1 tablespoon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- To toast walnuts: Heat small skillet over medium heat and add walnuts (do not add oil!). Toast for 4-5 minutes, stirring for even browning and watch closely so they don't burn. Walnuts will be slightly golden and fragrant.
- Clean the kale from the stems and then rip or cut into small bite sized pieces into a large bowl.
- Juice the lemon and then whisk in olive oil, salt, and honey.
- Pour about 3/4 of the dressing onto kale and with hands mix well and massage into kale until slightly wilted. Taste and then add more dressing to taste.
- Add cranberries and walnuts and mix.
- Drizzle with a little more dressing to taste, give a final mix and enjoy!
