Step 1

Prep your dressing by placing all ingredients for dressing in a mason jar. Screw the cap and shake until ingredients are mixed well. Set aside.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Place walnuts on a baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

Step 3

While walnuts are baking, place chopped kale in a large bowl. Pour dressing over the kale and massage kale with your hands for 3-5 minutes. This will make the kale easier to digest and less pungent.

Step 4

Once you’ve massage your kale, add the rest of the ingredients to the salad and toss.

Step 5

Eat as is or top with a protein such as quinoa, chicken breast, or both!
