Note: The original recipe posted in Oct 2015 has been updated with detailed step by step photos and recipe video.

I am not a big fan of store bought salad dressing and that is where this salad stands out. With basic ingredients like olive oil, honey and lemon juice, this dressing makes this salad

Pro tips to make the best kale salad:

• Remove the stems and use only the leaves. Check the video below to see how to easily remove the stems.
• Chop the kale leaves as finealy as you can.
• Allow the salald to soak in the dresseing for 15 to 20 minute before serving.
• Make homemade simple dressing that will stand up to the deep, earthy and slightly bitter tasting kale.

Step by Step recipe:

1. Wash and dry kale. Remove the stems from the kale leaves and chop the leaves finely. Add to a large bowl.

2. Cut grape tomatoes into half and add to the chopped kale.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, honey, lime juice, salt and pepper.

4. Pour the salad dressing on the salad and mix it well. Top with sliced almonds, cranberries and shredded parmesan cheese.
