Honey Walnut Kale Salad

Kale is loaded with nutrients, and beyond good for your body. And if you love an easy, fresh tasting, and delicious salad then look no further. This Kale Salad recipe uses only 4 ingredients, but can be adjusted to whatever your heart desires! Does not get any simpler, and is absolutely amazing on its own, or as a side dish to some proteins. The most important part is to really massage the wet ingredients into the leaves, otherwise they will not absorbed the sweetness of the honey completely. Many people don't know about this step, but trust me, once you try it you will be amazed by the difference.

Ingredients:

1 head fresh kale
1/3 cup olive Oil
2 tlbs. organic honey
1/3 cup crushed walnuts
1/2 cup dried cranberries


Directions:

1. Being by tearing the kale leaves from stems and ripping into smaller portions. Place in bowl, and discard of the stems.

2. Add olive oil, and honey into bowl and begin to massage into the kale leaves. This will allow for the kale to properly absorb the honey and oil, and will improve the overall taste greatly (a little secret I picked up during a cooking class).

3. Next add the crushed walnuts and mix entire bowl all together.
