Ingredients
1 small head kale, stemmed and torn into bite-size pieces, or 8 cups baby kale
2 limes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds, optional
1 teaspoon honey
1 heart of romaine, cut into bite-size pieces
2 Granny Smith apples, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup green grapes, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup of your favorite granola
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
Directions
- Put the kale in a large bowl, add the juice of 1 lime and a large pinch of salt, and rub the juice and salt into the kale with your hands. Let sit in the refrigerator overnight to tenderize.
- Melt the coconut oil in a microwave-safe small bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between. Whisk the oil with the yogurt, 1/2 the zest and all the juice of the remaining lime, 2 tablespoons water, vinegar, flaxseeds if using, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
- Add the romaine, apples, grapes, granola and parsley to the bowl of kale. Toss with the dressing to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Divide among 4 serving bowls, and serve.
