Warm Kale Salad Recipe

This warm kale salad is cozy, vibrant, and loaded with fall flavor. Sautéed kale is tossed with tart-sweet cranberries, crisp apples, and crunchy nuts or seeds, all coated in a maple mustard dressing. It’s a perfect side dish for holiday meals or a light main when topped with lentils or grains.

Warm Kale Salad with Apples and Cranberries

apple (chopped (Honeycrisp or Gala work well))

cranberries

¼ cup toasted pepitas, or roasted and chopped pecans or walnuts

Dijon mustard

apple cider vinegar

Salt & pepper (to taste)

Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon, vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Wilt the kale: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded kale and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until wilted and vibrant green. Stir in the dried cranberries and cook for 1 more minute to warm them through. Remove from heat.

Assemble the salad: Transfer the warm kale and cranberries to a large bowl. Add the chopped apple and drizzle with dressing to taste (you may not need it all). Toss well to combine. Season with additional salt and plenty of black pepper.

Serve: Top with toasted pepitas, walnuts, or pecans. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This was great! I am not a huge raw kale fan, so it's hard for me to find a kale-based salad. This is my new favorite! I added the suggested quinoa and also served it with baked sweet potatoes loaded up with black beans. A really filling healthy meal :)

This is delicious! I love the dressing for other salads too.

This salad is fabulous. The only thing I changed was to add some roasted, diced sweet potatoes. I made a huge amount (I cook for donations to something called Community Cooks) and my family gets some of what I make. They were more than enthusiastic and one family member is not a big fan of "salads" so this was a true compliment. Thanks so much for the recipe.

Checked my email and found this tasty recipe in my inbox! Made half of my it with the dressing and the other half without and both were delicious! Put some on a sandwich with avocado, homemade turkey seitan, and tofu bacon! Such a good sandwich dunked in potato leek soup! Thank you!
