Ingredients
  

For the salad
  • 2 bunches kale leaves cut off the stem & chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 3-4 fresh peaches pitted & diced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/4 cup pepitas
  • 1 lemon for massaging the kale
  • Olive oil for massaging the kale
For the lemon vinaigrette
  • 4 lemons juiced
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Cracked black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Baking Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the pepitas out in an even layer on the pan and toast in the oven for 5-6 minutes until nutty and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  2. Whisk the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, and black pepper together in a small bowl or jar. Store in the refrigerator while preparing the rest of the salad.
  3. Cut the kale leaves off the stems and chop into bite-size pieces. Add to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and squeeze 1 lemon over. Massage with hands until leaves soften.
  4. Rinse and dice the peaches into bite-size pieces. Rinse and dry the blueberries.
  5. Add diced peaches and blueberries to kale. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss until coated.
  6. Serve the salad in individual bowls and garnish each with toasted pepitas before serving.

Notes

This salad is a perfect summer dish. Massaging the kale helps break down its toughness, making it more enjoyable to eat. Feel free to adjust the amount of vinaigrette to your taste preference.
