Kale Salad with Orange, Apple & Walnuts
A fresh raw kale salad with orange, apple, walnuts and a bright citrus dressing. Finely sliced and gently massaged, the kale becomes softer and easier to enjoy while keeping the salad fiber-rich, colorful and nourishing.
Ingredients
Salad
- 150 g kale finely sliced
- 1 orange peeled and sliced
- 1 apple thinly sliced
- 40 g walnuts roughly chopped
Dressing
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple vinegar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the kale, remove the tougher stems and slice the leaves finely.
- Place the kale in a bowl with olive oil, apple vinegar, lemon juice, turmeric, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
- Massage the kale gently with clean hands for 2–3 minutes until it becomes softer and slightly darker.
- Peel and slice the orange.
- Slice the apple thinly just before serving.
- Add the orange and apple to the kale and mix gently.
- Top with chopped walnuts and serve fresh.
Notes
Make It More Filling: Add cooked lentils, quinoa, chickpeas, tofu or a boiled egg if you want the salad to work as a more complete meal.
Keep It Fresh: Add the apple and walnuts shortly before serving so the apple stays crisp and the walnuts keep their texture.
Prep Ahead: You can massage the kale base in advance and store it in the fridge. Add the fruit and walnuts just before eating.
