Date Salad Directions

 

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss half of the kale leaves with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread across a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from oven and set aside.

 

Step 2

While kale is baking, massage the other half of the kale leaves in 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Use your fingers to massage the kale for 8-10 minutes, or until kale is tender and turns a brighter shade of green.

 

Step 3

Place all the vinaigrette ingredients into a high speed blender: olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, basil, mustard, salt, and pepper. Puree until ingredients are combined.

 

Step 4

Place both forms of kale into a large bowl. Pour on dressing and toss to coat. Top your greens with sliced avocado, sliced pear, chopped dates, and pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!
