The Best Kale Salad

best kale salad

A few months ago I discovered a delicious kale salad from a neighborhood restaurant that changed the way I felt about that leafy green.  I’ve been working on recreating it every since and I think I’ve just about perfected it. It’s lemony and crunchy and I’m happy to say it’s the most requested recipe that family and friends want me to share with them. And today I’m sharing it with you! One of my favorite things about this salad (and any kale salad) is because kale leaves are so sturdy and don’t wilt quickly, it’s also great leftover the next day.

Healthy eating is on my mind, like many of you with the new year. To be honest, it’s hard to pack in as many nutrient rich foods as I should, especially being pregnant. So I’m happy that companies like Olly vitamins exist to fill in those gaps and make vitamin taking feel like a little treat instead of a chore. Today I’m partnering with them and their brand new Super Foods Multi Vitamin, which might be my Olly favorite!

Ingredients

Toasted slivered almonds
Shaved parmesan
Roasted brussels sprouts
Kale

Directions: Coat brussels sprouts with olive oil and roast in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15- 20 minutes until crispy on one side. Meanwhile, mix vinaigrette (recipe below), shave parmesan, and toast almonds in a pan on the stove on low heat until fragrant and light brown. Pull kale off stem and break into medium pieces. Add a squeeze of the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and give the leaves a little rub down to massage the leaves a bit and make them easier to digest.

1/4 cup squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
A dab of dijon mustard
Pinch of salt and pepper

YUM! this looks so good and the photos are stunning. I’m a huge fan of Olly as well! Their sleep vitamins are so good

I’ve always had an aversion to kale which is odd because I really love eating healthy and am open to trying new foods. Maybe this salad will be just the thing for me to get over it—It looks really delicious! Going to give it a try.

Looks delicious and I agree, loving all things Olly. I was on a diet this week but the Olly vitamins I take daily were my one accepted treat
