Oh my gosh. This Maple Kale Salad with Cranberries and Blue Cheese is everything. Please, please do not underestimate its simple vibe or the fact that I’m using kale. 😂 It is truly DELICIOUS and so festive. I made this for friends with a side of roasted pork and NO ONE cared about the pork. 😂It was all about the salad! It keeps so well (prep ahead instructions are included in the recipe). I ended up eating it for a solid three days and it was as good as the day I made it (yes, even the apples! See my notes below!)
A few things to keep in mind:
✅ Massage the kale for a tender, delicious result.
✅Swap the blue cheese for feta or goats cheese if blue cheese isn’t your thing.
✅ Soak your apples in water with a little bit of salt to stop them going brown (such a fantastic tip for lunch boxes too!)
✅ Don’t skip toasting the pecans – and YES, you can do this in the microwave!
It’s vibrant, festive, and pairs beautifully with any roast, glazed ham, or salmon. Find the full recipe on my website, link in bio. ♥️
