Ingredients
  

6 cups fresh kale, stems removed and leaves torn into bite-sized pieces

1 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup sliced almonds (toasted if desired)

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (or goat cheese)

1 large apple, diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds for added crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Kale: In a large mixing bowl, add the torn kale leaves. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and massage the leaves for 2-3 minutes until they are softened and darkened in color. This helps to break down the tough fibers.

    Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Combine Salad Ingredients: Add the diced apple, dried cranberries, sliced almonds, crumbled feta cheese, and red onion to the bowl with the kale.

        Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Using tongs or salad forks, toss everything together until the kale and other ingredients are well coated with the dressing.

          Garnish (Optional): If using, sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the top for an extra crunch.

            Serve: Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve chilled or at room temperature.
