Serves: 1 entree or 2 sides
Ingredients
  • 4 cups torn kale
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ½ cup cooked cannellini beans (rinsed if from a can)
  • 4 olives, sliced (I used green, kalmata are also good)
  • 3 sun-dried tomatoes halves, diced
  • 2 TBS feta cheese crumbles
  • 1 TBS red onion, diced
Dressing
  • 1 extra small garlic clove minced (1/4-1/2 tsp)
  • 1 TBS golden balsamic vinegar (or white balsamic)
  • ½ TBS olive oil
  • ¼ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2-3 twists sea salt and cracked pepper from a grinder, each
Instructions
  1. Drizzle 1 tsp olive oil over kale. Massage with your hands until the kale starts to soften and reduces slightly in size. This will make it more tender and less chewy. Place kale in a large bowl.
  2. Top kale with cannellini beans, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, and feta.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients. Pour over salad and serve.
