One of my tips for surviving holiday parties and potlucks is to bring a healthy dish you know you can eat, and fill up on. My go-to is a big yummy salad, loaded with veggies, healthy fats, and protein.
This ultra-healthy Kale Waldorf Salad is a perfect winter salad, topped with veggies and fruit. It's also a lighter choice than traditional Waldorf salad, replacing the mayonnaise with a tangy Dijon dressing.
The trick to using kale in a salad is chopping the kale small and massaging the dressing into the hearty winter green. I like to use a sharp 7" Santoku knife for this task.
So, go ahead and load up your plate with this salad and keep this holiday season the healthiest yet.
