Ingredients

Cranberry Vinaigrette

2 TBSP 100% cranberry juice
1 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp honey
⅛ tsp ground ginger

Kale Salad

8 c chopped kale
¼ c dried cranberries
¼ c walnuts chopped

Instructions

Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl. Alternatively, you can combine the cranberry vinaigrette ingredients in a small mason jar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously!
Place chopped kale in a large mixing bowl. Pour cranberry vinaigrette over the kale. Using freshly cleaned hands, massage the kale by tossing the kale in the vinaigrette and using your hands to rub the kale to tenderize it. Cover and allow the kale to rest in the fridge at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to continue to tenderize it.
Prior to serving, top with walnuts and dried cranberries. Another option is to add 2 ounces of your favorite low fat cheese.
