KALE AND FETA SALAD

Kale and Feta Salad image

I've been making variations of this salad for years. I recently learned how to massage the kale and it makes a huge difference. I had a friend ask for my recipe and I realized I don't have one. This is my first attempt at writing a recipe, so please let me know how it works out! I like to change up the ingredients: sometimes a pear instead of an apple, cranberries instead of currants, Parmesan instead of feta, etc. Great as a side dish or by itself the next day for lunch!

Kale Fiesta Salad image

I'm always looking for a new salad to make in bulk for the work week. I've made other kale salads but this is my favorite. Lots of texture, loads of flavor, colorful, crunchy, and sweet.

Ingredients

2 lemons, juiced, divided
1 bunch fresh basil leaves, divided
2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 (8 ounce) package kale, ribs removed and leaves torn into pieces
1 English cucumber, cubed
1 large heirloom tomato, cubed
1 large carrot, cubed
1 cup fresh corn kernels
½ (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ (6 ounce) can black olives

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Blend juice of half of 1 lemon, 1/2 of the basil, garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper together in a food processor until smooth. Place chicken thighs in a nonstick baking pan.
Bake naked chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and pour blended mixture over chicken.

Heat remaining olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in onion and cook until softened and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add remaining lemon juice and basil, vinegar, and honey. Heat dressing thoroughly, about 5 minutes.
Mix chicken, kale, cucumber, tomato, carrot, corn, black beans, and olives together in a bowl.
Pour warm dressing onto salad; massage and toss until well coated.

12 FAVORITE KALE SALADS (PLUS TIPS!) - COOKIE AND KATE

From cookieandkate.com

Remove the ribs. Regardless of which variety of kale you choose (they all make great salads), you’ll first want to remove the tough ribs from the leaves.
Chop the kale. Then, you’ll want to chop the kale into pretty small, bite-sized pieces. Eating kale salads made with pieces of giant kale is mighty awkward.
Sprinkle with salt. Next, transfer the kale to a serving bowl and sprinkle it lightly with sea salt (salt helps cut the bitter flavor of kale).
Massage the kale. Yes, this step sounds ridiculous, but it makes all the difference. Reach into the bowl with (clean) hands and start grabbing handfuls of kale.
Dress the kale. Drizzle in a bold dressing and massage that into the leaves so the kale is lightly and evenly coated with dressing (this is important!).
Toss well. Now is the time to toss in additions like toasted nuts, grated/crumbled cheese and/or chopped raw fruits and veggies. If you have time, let the salad marinate for ten minutes before serving.
