KALE-CHARD SALAD WITH LEMON-APPLE CIDER VINAIGRETTE

Picture
Yield: 2-4 servings
Print Recipe
I have an abundant harvest of kale and Swiss chard in my garden, so I always try to find different ways to prepare it. I love sautéing chard and making kale chips, but sometimes, it's just easiest to include these greens in a daily salad. What makes a good kale and chard salad? Thinly slicing the greens and massaging the dressing into the greens first! This lemon and apple cider vinegar dressing also makes this salad extra flavorful! In addition, another favorite salad ingredient is apples! Don't leave out the apples in this one!  
Ingredients:
  • 1 large bunch kale, any variety (Lacinato, Red Russian or curly)
  • 1 large bunch of Swiss chard
  • 1 apple, cored and sliced
  • 1 cup sliced radishes
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup cranberries
  • 2 tbsp sunflower seeds or any nuts or seeds of choice
Directions:
  1. Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients.
  2. Stack the leaves of the kale and chard. Then roll them up and cut into thin strips.  Add to a bowl and drizzle on a little of the vinaigrette to help soften up the greens. Toss well until the greens are well coated.
  3. Add other salad ingredients to the greens.
  4. Pour on extra dressing and toss to combine.
