By now you all are aware that I love kale salads, as I've posted quite a few on this blog. Well I just tried a new one this weekend and it's fantastic. I absolutely love peaches, so this recipe was a no brainer for me. Plus, peaches are awesome so far this summer!
**Just remember, to ripen your peaches so that they're juicy and not mealy (ick!) just buy them when they're rock-hard, then put them in a brown paper bag on your windowsill for a few days until they ripen to your taste. Don't even try to buy them a little ripe or you'll probably get mealy ones....
Kale Salad with Peach Vinaigrette
Author: Detoxinista.com
Serves: 4-6
A peachy summer salad that's durable enough to make ahead of time.
Ingredients
- 2 bunches kale, stems removed
- ½ red onion, diced
- 1 ripe peach, pitted and chopped
- Peach Vinaigrette
- 1 ripe peach, pitted and chopped
- 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- To prepare the dressing, combine the chopped peach, vinegar, oil, water, honey (if using), and salt in a blender, and blend until completely smooth. If the peach you're using is very sweet, you may not need the honey at all.
- Rip the kale into small pieces, and then use your hands to massage the dressing into the leaves until they are tender and slightly wilted. Toss in the red onion and chopped peach, and allow the salad to marinate for 30 minutes before serving. Save any leftover salad in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
