Fresh Winter Salad

Back to recipe

Ingredients

For the dressing:

  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
  • 1/4 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 3 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

For the salad:

  • 4 ounces shredded kale
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small head broccoli, chopped
  • 1 baby bok choy, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 medium Honeycrisp apples, cored and diced
  • 1 cup candied walnuts, chopped
  • 5 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup diced sweet potato, roasted
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils

Directions

  1. In a blender, combine all of the dressing ingredients and puree until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the kale, lemon juice and olive oil. Massage the lemon juice and oil into the greens, using your hands. This softens the fibers of the kale. The greens should take on a deeper green color and be slightly wilted.
  3. In the same bowl, add the chopped vegetables and apple.
  4. Pour dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
  5. Sprinkle the walnuts, feta cheese, sweet potato and pomegranate arils over the top of the salad and serve.
