How To Make Kale Salad | Hilah Cooking

feta cheese

Avocado oil is rich in healthy fats and has a high smoke point.

quinoa

🥗Healthier: farro

💰Cheaper: brown rice

Farro provides a nutty flavor and is often less expensive.

cherry tomatoes

🥗Healthier: sliced bell peppers

💰Cheaper: regular tomatoes

Sliced bell peppers add crunch and color at a lower cost.

Wash the kale and cut it into bite-sized pieces, leaving the stems on if desired.

Place the kale in a large bowl and add about 2 teaspoons of mild oil and about 0.25 teaspoons of salt.

Massage the kale for a few minutes until it softens and reduces in volume.

Add chopped orange bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and a small amount of radicchio to the kale mixture.

Set the kale mixture aside at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of deli mustard, some German hot mustard, honey, and cider vinegar.

Add olive oil and black pepper to the dressing mixture and whisk together.

Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired.

Pour the dressing over the kale and toss to combine.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two days for better flavor.
