A super-easy, colorful and nutritious raw kale salad with peaches, dried tart cherries and pine nuts, tossed with extra virgin olive oil and white balsamic vinegar. I find the mild sweetness of the white balsamic vinegar awakens the kale. You must include it! This recipe is vegan, vegetarian and gluten free.

Ingredients

• 1 Kale, bunch, stems removed

• 2 Peaches, pitted and chopped

• 1/3 cup Tart cherries, dried (or cranberries)

• 1/4 cup Pine nuts

• 1.5 tbsp White balsamic vinegar

• 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

• 1/3 tsp Kosher salt

• 1/4 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

• Prepare all the ingredients – remove the stems from the kale and chop/tear into bite-size pieces; chop peaches into healthy chunks; leave dried tart cherries whole, as shown.
  
• In a large mixing bowl, slightly squeeze (no massaging) the chopped kale leaves and a pinch of coarse salt with your hands just to soften kale a bit.
• Transfer kale to the salad bowl/platter.
• Add chopped peaches and cherries.
• Sprinkle pine nuts over the salad.
• In a small bowl, whisk white vinegar and olive oil to form a translucent emulsion and pour the dressing over the salad. Alternatively, you can toss vinegar and olive oil right over the salad until it is evenly coated.
  
• Garnish with freshly ground pepper to your taste.

Notes

• Salad and dressing can be stored separately in the fridge up to 3 days.
