Healthy Kale Salad Recipe

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.

Make the dressing: in a small bowl whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Remove kale stems, then thinly slice the kale and place in a bowl.

Pour half of the dressing over the kale leaves. Using your hands, massage the leaves until they become soft and wilted.

Add chopped almonds, pecans, cranberries, and avocado. Add the rest of the dressing and toss to combine.

Serve.
