KALE SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES

Kale Salad with Cranberries image

I originally combined several recipes for kale salad and made several versions over the last 5 years. Despite numerous requests, I did not write it down until last year and have since perfected it. Whenever I take it to a potluck, I always take an empty bowl home.

Ingredients

½ cup water
½ cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon honey
16 ounces kale, stems removed and discarded, leaves torn into bite-sized pieces
1 red onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
5 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup toasted walnuts, chopped

Steps:

Combine water and cranberries in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cranberries are soft and liquid is syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in honey, remove from the heat, and allow to cool.
Put kale and red onion in an 8-quart pot or a very large bowl.
Whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; pour over the kale and stir well. Add feta cheese, walnuts, and moist cranberries with their syrup; stir until well combined. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate, stirring occasionally, until kale has wilted and shrunken in size, 3 to 8 hours.
To serve, transfer to a smaller serving bowl.

GRANDMA'S CRANBERRY SALAD

Grandma's Cranberry Salad image

I always love the punch of color that cranberries add to a meal, and this delicious cranberry salad recipe really does the berry justice. Not only did we love the perfect balance of sweet and tart, but the chopped pecans added a wonderful crunch that we'd never had before in a cranberry salad.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 small package of cherry Jell-O (3oz box)
1 c hot water
1 c sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 c drained crushed pineapple (8oz can) (juice reserved)
1 c pineapple juice (use the reserved juice and add water to make 1 cup)
1 c ground cranberries
1 orange (ground)
1/2 c pecans, chopped

Steps:

1. Boil the cup of water. Dissolve the Jell-o in the hot water in an 8-inch square pan mix well. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and pineapple juice. Stir to dissolve well. Note: You can substitute the 8x8 dish and use a 9x13 dish, it seems to gel up a bit better that way.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Chill overnight.
3. Grandma's Notes: Chop up the pecans first before getting the blender wet. Or you could just buy pre-chopped pecans and save a step. Use the blender or food processor to chop up cranberries, then orange, seeded, and partially peeled. The chopped peel gives it that special zing!
