Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups kale, chopped
- 1 peach, sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup almonds, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the kale. Rinse the kale leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Remove the tough stems from the kale and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped kale in a large mixing bowl.
- Next, prepare the peach. Wash the peach thoroughly, then slice it in half and remove the pit. Slice the peach into thin wedges and add them to the bowl with the kale.
- Now, prepare the avocado. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into small cubes and add them to the salad bowl.
- In a small skillet, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent burning, and toast them until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Once toasted, remove from heat and let them cool slightly before adding to the salad.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the ginger almond vinaigrette. Combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
- Drizzle the ginger almond vinaigrette over the kale, peach, and avocado mixture. Toss the salad gently to ensure all the ingredients are coated with the dressing.
- Finally, sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top of the salad for added crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Peach and Avocado Kale Salad!
Tips
- Massage your kale: Soften the kale leaves by gently massaging them with a bit of olive oil to reduce bitterness and improve texture.
- Use ripe but firm fruits: Select peaches and avocados that are ripe but still have some firmness to maintain the perfect salad structure.
- Toast almonds carefully: Watch your almonds closely while toasting to prevent burning—they can go from perfectly golden to burnt in seconds.
- Dress just before serving: Add the vinaigrette right before serving to keep the kale crisp and prevent wilting.
- Customize to your taste: Feel free to add protein like grilled chicken or chickpeas to make this salad a complete meal.
