Ingredients

  • 2 cups Lacinato kale chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomato
  • ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2-3 TBSP pumpkin seeds roasted, salted
  • 2 TBSP onion red, finely chopped
  • ½ lemon (juiced)
  • 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano leaves
  • ⅛ tsp salt sea salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. This scrumptious salad is oh so easy to make. First combine your dressing ingredients (fresh lemon juice, evoo, red wine vinegar, oregano, and salt and pepper) and whisk well.
  2. Next remove kale leaves from the center stem and chop. Wash and dry (a salad spinner works great here) and add to a medium-large bowl.
  3. Add a teaspoon of dressing to the kale and massage it into the leaves to make them tender and silky.
  4. Next peel and finely chop red onion and add to the dressing to marinate while you prep the rest of the salad.
  5. Halve or chop tomatoes and crumble fresh feta off the block. Whisk the dressing once more, then add tomatoes, pepitas, and feta to the salad. Mix well to coat. Feel free to add any extra seasoning or toppings you'd like. If adding lots of extras, simply make a little extra dressing to cover all the veggie goodness. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For the tomatoes, feel free to use cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, vine-ripened tomatoes, or even roma tomatoes - any variety you love and have on hand will work marvelous.
  • Want to empty your crisper drawer or add some extras? Marvelous mix-in options include sunflower seeds, chopped bell pepper, banana peppers, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, shredded carrot, quinoa, croutons, chickpeas, and so much more!
