Spinach And Kale Salad Recipes

COLORFUL KALE AND SPINACH SALAD AND HOMEMADE DRESSING

Steps:

• Toss kale, spinach, lettuce, carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper together in a large mixing bowl.
• Mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; seal and shake until mixed completely. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat.

LEMON-GARLIC KALE SALAD

Steps:

• In a toaster oven or skillet, toast almonds until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, combine lemon juice and 1 heaping teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add garlic cloves and set aside to steep.
• Working in batches, cut the kale into thin ribbons: gather a large handful of leaves, bunch together tightly, and use the other hand to slice into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. This need not be done very precisely or neatly; the idea is to end up with a kind of slaw. (Recipe can be made up to this point 1 day ahead. Keep kale and dressing refrigerated separately.)
• Place chopped kale in a very large bowl. Sprinkle surface with almonds and then with cheese, if using. Remove and discard garlic cloves from dressing. Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss. Taste for dressing and salt and add more as needed, tossing to coat thoroughly. Serve within 1 hour.

SPINACH AND KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and cook red bell pepper, garlic, and kale about 5 minutes, covered. Add spinach, salt and black pepper, and cook about 5 minutes more. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Serve hot.

SPINACH AND KALE SALAD WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken, or get it precooked (like I did -- it's easy). Slice the fruit.
• Combine strawberries, oranges, honey, balsamic vinegar, and half of the olive oil. Set aside and let rest.
• Remove and discard stalks from kale and spinach. Tear into manageable pieces, but keep kale and spinach separate.
• Cover kale with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Then, crush (or 'massage') the kale until it start to soften.
• Mix everything together, and top with almonds, goat cheese, and black pepper.
