Date Nut Kale Salad

Sweet and sour notes from dates, cranberries and maple syrup paired with kale and lemon juice and the added crunch of walnuts

Ingredients:

4 cups packed, massaged and chopped kale

3 tbsps fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp lemon zest (optional zing!)

1-2 tsps maple syrup

1 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup dates, chopped

1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

1/4 cup dry cranberries

 

Whisk the lemon juice, (zest), maple syrup, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Massage the kale in your hands until it softens a bit then remove the ribs, chop and add to the dressing. Add the rest of the ingredients and refrigerate. This can keep 2-3 days and actually improves after a day or so.

Makes 4-6 side salad servings
