The Story Behind This Recipe

Let’s be real. I love salad. Not many people can say that. I may be one of the few people who actively seek out a salad for a meal. Salad’s always leave me feeling healthy, fit, active, and awake.

Ingredients Needed For A Fall Harvest Salad

Below are the simple ingredients needed to make the best Fall Harvest Salad:

For your salad:

• 1 bunch of kale; washed (I prefer organic)
• Drizzle olive oil
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta
• 1 honeycrisp apple, cubed

For your dressing:

• 2-3 tbs white wine vinegar
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How To Make A Fall Harvest Salad

1. Remove the kale from the stem by peeling the leaves away from the stem in a downward motion and use sharp knife to roughly chop.
2. Place the kale in a large bowl. Drizzle the kale with a little bit of olive oil, you just enough to coat the leave. Massage and rip with your clean hands until the kale softens and turns a bright green.
3. Add white wine vinegar and sea salt and pepper to taste and toss lightly.
4. Add the feta cheese, chopped walnuts, and cubed apples . Toss again and enjoy!

How To Store Your Leftovers

Have leftovers? No problem! Storing your Fall Harvest Salad is a piece of kale! Simply grab your favorite refrigerator-safe storage container and keep your leftovers stored in the fridge.

This salad will stay good for 48-72 hours. If you put your dressing on the salad rather than on the side, you may want to consume your leftovers quicker. The dressing can make your kale leaves soggy and decrease the amount of time it can be stored in the fridge without ruining the taste.
