Recipe by nathan lyonAppetizers | Entrees | Salads | | Serves 4
Prep. Times: 10-15 min. | Cooking Time: 0 min.
INGREDIENTS
Recipe from Nathan Lyon's Cookbook "Great Food Starts Fresh"
1. Strip the tender leaves from the tough stems of the kale; discard the stems. Rinse and dry the leaves, then roll them up and slice into thin strips. You should have approximately 5 packed cups of kale ribbons.2. Cut the peel and pith off the oranges, then segment them by cutting between the dividers. Discard any seeds, but reserve the juice for the vinaigrette.
3. In a medium container with a tight fitting lid, combine the vinaigrette ingredients, close the lid tightly, and shake well to combine. Or, whisk to combine the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
4. Add the kale, nuts, seeds, cranberries, orange segments, and crumbled feta to a large serving bowl. Drizzle half the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, adding more vinaigrette if needed.
5. Wonder aloud why you didn’t make this salad sooner, then serve.
