Equipment

  • bowl
  • whisk
  • jar

Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • ¼ cup olive oil preferably Filippio Berio
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard preferably Maille
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic freshly minced
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salad

  • 6 cups kale stemmed and torn into small 1-inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2.5 cups broccoli cut into very small, bite-sized florets
  • ½ cup almonds
  • ½ cup feta preferably President crumbles
  • ¼ cup carrot
  • ¼ cup red onion
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup cranberries

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a jar or small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, honey, freshly minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is emulsified. Set aside while you prepare the salad components.
  • Place the stemmed and torn kale pieces in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon of salt. Using your hands, massage the kale for 1-2 minutes, working the oil and salt into the leaves until they become noticeably darker, softer, and more tender.
  • While the kale is being massaged, prepare the remaining ingredients: cut the broccoli into very small, bite-sized florets, roughly chop or slice the almonds if they're whole, crumble the feta cheese, julienne or finely dice the carrot, thinly slice the red onion, and measure out the sunflower seeds and cranberries.
  • Add the broccoli, almonds, feta cheese, carrot, red onion, sunflower seeds, and cranberries to the bowl with the massaged kale. Pour the vinaigrette from step 1 over the salad and toss everything together gently but thoroughly.

Notes

Let the salad sit for 5 minutes after tossing to allow the flavors to meld.
