  • Quick & Easy

This easy holiday salad gets its flavor from a sweet citrus dressing that's infused into the kale by massaging the greens and the dressing together with your hands. We like a mix of kale for this recipe, but any type of kale will work.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
  • 1½ tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 7 cups stemmed and torn mixed kale, such as lacinato, curly and/or red
  • ½ cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds

Directions

  1. Stir shallot and vinegar together in a large bowl; let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk in oil, honey, orange zest, orange juice, salt and pepper. Add kale and massage the mixture gently with your hands until the kale is lightly wilted, about 3 minutes. Arrange the salad on a platter; sprinkle with cranberries and almonds.
