Kale Waldorf Salad Recipe
Description
This salad features curly kale as its base, providing a chewy, sturdy green that stands up well to the creamy dressing. Halved grapes and diced crisp apples contribute sweetness and fresh juiciness, while toasted walnuts add a nutty crunch. Celery slices bring additional crunch, and dried cranberries add bursts of tart sweetness.
The dressing combines Greek yogurt, honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of sea salt. This creamy dressing coats the ingredients thoroughly, mellowing the kale's slightly bitter edge and tying all flavors together. Letting the salad sit for about 10 minutes softens the kale and melds the dressing's taste with the other ingredients.
This salad suits as a refreshing side or light main course and offers a balance of sweet, tart, and creamy flavors with a pleasing mix of textures.
Leftover salad can be stored refrigerated for a couple of days while retaining freshness.
