Kale Waldorf Salad – Killing Me Softly

January 22, 2015 By Jittery Cook 7 Comments

Kale is here to stay and this Kale Waldorf Salad is the proof in the pudding — no mayo, no oil, purely and simply the best salad, with OMGoodness! If you’re one of those kale haters, then just substitute your favourite greens. Get ready for a wonderful taste sensation and a mighty healthy treat.

Wondering where this Kale Waldorf Salad recipe came from? Abigail Nagorski whipped up a bowlful in a Meatless Monday cooking demonstration class at Whole Foods Market in Boca Raton.

Kale Waldorf Salad

Kale Waldorf Salad

  • 4 c finely chopped kale, preferably dinosaur kale, stems finely chopped
  • 1 large red apple, or 2 small ones, chopped, divided
  • 1 c thinly sliced celery
  • 1/2 c lightly toasted chopped walnuts, divided into two 1/4 cup portions
  • 1/4 c plus 2 tablespoons raisins or mulberries
  • 2 T each Dijon mustard, water
  • 1 T vinegar, red wine, cider or rice
  • 1/8 t sea salt

Kale Waldorf Salad

In a large bowl, combine the kale, half the apple, celery, half the walnuts and 1/4 cup of the raisins or berries.

In a blender, purée the remainder of the apple, walnuts, raisins, mustard, vinegar and salt.

Toss the salad with the dressing. Serves 4, but you’ll wish you were just 2.

      Thanks Jovina. I love the dressing. I’m ready to experiment with blending fruit and dried fruit into salad dressings now that I’ve seen how well this turned out.

    Made this last night and even though I am proud to be a kale-hater you may have converted me. I used my magic bullet and I admit I added a splash of olive oil as it was a teeny bit thick. It’s a surprisingly good kale recipe, well done Hol!

      Smiling!!! Water is recommended as a thinning agent. Not that there’s anything wrong with a little oo. Did you find dinosaur kale or use the crinkly kind?

        I live in Nowheresville. I am lucky to find ANY kind of organic kale. They all taste nasty to me anyway. But the dressing (which I may have doubled accidentally) and the ingredients were spot on!

    Second time I made it I doubled the dressing on purpose, making a huge batch. Tastes good left over too.
