Kale Salad with Craisins, Apple & Feta

4.75 from 8 votes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 bunch kale
  • 3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt or sea salt
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup craisins
  • 3/4 cup small-diced apple
  • 1/3 cup sunflower seeds (lightly toasted)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/3 cup crumbled Feta cheese

Instructions
 

  • Wash the kale and pat it dry. Remove the fibrous kale stems. Stack the kale leaves two or three at a time, roll them up, and slice the leaves into thin ribbons.
  • Place the kale ribbons in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and massage it into the kale with your hands for 3-4 minutes. The kale will turn a darker green and the texture will begin to soften.
  • Add the red onions, craisins, apples, and sunflower seeds. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, and sugar. Pour over the salad and toss. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top and serve.
  • (To prepare in advance: store the prepared kale separately from the other ingredients, in the refrigerator. Then right before serving toss together.)
