Kelly's Favorite Salad Recipe from Olive Tap

Kelly’s Favorite Salad

This is definitely my new favorite salad! (And hopefully yours too.) The recipe for this fresh salad is my own take on the cookbook called “Be a Plant-Based Woman Warrior” by Jane and Ann Esselstyn. They call this dish the "Three Goddesses Salad" so mine is similar but includes my own personal twist where I made my own dressing to drizzle on the top. I combined our delicious Olive Tap Blood Orange Vinegar and our Blackberry Ginger vinegar to create a smooth new Vinaigrette that adds a fruity and nutty taste. If you're a salad person, this one is packed full of healthy greens and heart-healthy oils for the perfect nutritious, delicious meal!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 bunch kale stems stripped and leaves chiffonade cut (about 2 cups)
  • 1 head romaine, chopped
  • 1/2 Napa Cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1/2 purple cabbage, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 3-4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries or more to taste
  • 3-4 clementines peeled or 10 oz canned mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 cup Walnut pieces
  • 1 cup pepitas raw
  • 1/4 cup The Olive Tap’s Blood Orange Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup The Olive Tap’s Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. In a large salad bowl, combine the kale, romaine, Napa cabbage, purple cabbage, cucumber, green onions, blueberries, clementines, walnuts and pepitas.
  2. In small shaker bottle or small bowl, combine Blood Orange Olive Oil and Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Pour over salad.  (Serves 8)

BON APPETIT!
