Description

This kale and feta salad features tender massaged kale, crisp apple, tangy feta, sweet currants, and crunchy toasted pine nuts—perfectly balanced with apple cider vinegar for a refreshing and satisfying dish.


Ingredients

1 bunch kale, large stems discarded, leaves finely chopped

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 apple, diced

⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled

¼ cup currants

¼ cup toasted pine nuts


Instructions

  1. Massage chopped kale with salt in a large mixing bowl for about 2 minutes until softened.
  2. Drizzle apple cider vinegar over the kale and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Gently fold in diced apple, crumbled feta, currants, and toasted pine nuts until well combined.
  4. Serve immediately or let sit a few minutes for flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Substitute pear for apple for a milder sweetness.
  • Swap currants with dried cranberries or raisins.
  • Use toasted walnuts or pecans instead of pine nuts.
  • Try goat cheese or Parmesan in place of feta.
  • Add chickpeas or grilled chicken for a protein boost.
