Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale, stemmed and sliced
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked French lentils
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions

Add the kale and shallots to a large bowl and set aside.

Whisk together the vinegar, honey and mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the kale and shallots and toss and stir roughly with tongs, about 3 minutes. You want to gently bruise the leaves of the kale. Once the kale looks soft, toss in the lentils, feta cheese and cranberries. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate 1 hour before serving.

    This is an amazing salad that's not only tasty but good for you. I bought a bag of pre-washed kale and already cooked lentils in the store, so it was really easy to put together. I'll be making this on a regular basis.

    Easy, nutritional and everyone loved this salad...I served it cold did not steam kale like you did on your show January 14, 2012. This will be a favorite family salad and be known as our "Salad of 2012"! I watched your show for the first time and LOVED it...you're both a blast and the other recipes will be made soon! Thanks!

    So Tasty!!!! This is a beautiful, healthy salad that really holds up. I ate it with a few sliced strawberries on the side and they added a little more sweetness that I thought paired nicely. I will definitely make this again and bring it to get togethers!!
