Cooking at the Y! — Kale Salad

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

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.

Remove the hard stem from the curly kale and chop it coarsely.

Add the chopped kale to a bowl with half a cup of olive oil and massage until soft for about 1-2 minutes.

Roll the lemon to get the most juice, then add the zest and juice to the salad.

Toast the pine nuts (or use walnuts if preferred) and add them to the salad with a little Parmesan cheese.
