The Grape and Feta Kale Salad is a vibrant dish with sweet grapes, tangy feta, crunchy candied almonds, and a refreshing lemon-dijon vinaigrette, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

1 bunch kale, leaves cut off the stem and chopped

1½ cup grapes, sliced

½ cup feta cheese

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 lemon, juiced

1 cup raw almonds

1 Tbsp maple syrup

Cracked sea salt, to taste

¼ cup lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)

2 tsp honey

1 tsp dijon mustard

1 tsp olive oil

Cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. To make the candied almonds, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the raw almonds and maple syrup. Stir constantly for 5-7 minutes, until the almonds are toasted and coated in the syrup. Remove from heat and sprinkle with cracked sea salt. Let them cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale, sliced grapes, and feta cheese.
  3. Drizzle the kale salad with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over it. Gently toss to coat.
  4. For the lemon-dijon vinaigrette, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, dijon mustard, olive oil, and cracked pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine.
  6. Top the salad with the candied almonds just before serving.

Notes

For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese or substitute it with a plant-based alternative.

Add grilled chicken, salmon, or chickpeas for added protein.

If you prefer a different nut, try using candied pecans or walnuts.

You can also add a few slices of red onion or avocado for extra flavor and texture.

Use agave syrup or another sweetener instead of honey for a vegan dressing.
