Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 4 cups packed chopped kale ((rib removed))
  • 2 cups leftover cooked chicken, cut into bite size chunks
  • 1 cup leftover cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup dry roasted cashews
  • 1 gala apple (diced*)
  • 1 green onion (finely chopped)
  • the juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp unpasteurized honey
  • 1 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1/2 tsp salt (I use Himalayan salt)
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instruction

  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, vigorously whisk all the ingredients for the vinaigrette and then pour it over the chopped kale. Massage the kale with that vinaigrette for 3 to 5 minutes, making sure to squeeze those kale leaves really firmly between your fingers.
  • Add the rest of the salad ingredients to the bowl and toss well.
  • If time permits, refrigerate the salad for about an hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.
  • Leftovers will keep well for up to a couple of days in the refrigerator.
