What better pair for this nutrient-dense fruit than healthy, hearty kale? This dark leafy green is absolutely packed with minerals and nutrients, and is one of the best known sources of vitamin K.
Since kale can be a bit tough, we recommend massaging it to get them nice and tender. If you’re working with whole leaves of kale, be sure to wash them thoroughly, then chop off the fibrous stems.
You can thinly slice the kale or roughly chop them, then add to a bowl with a bit of olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Use your hands to massage the kale for a few minutes, or until just wilted. The acid from the lemon juice will aid your efforts to break down the cellulose in the kale, so be sure not to overdo it—you want it tender, not mushy! When you’ve hit that sweet spot, set it aside.
To bring this salad together, we use a simple homemade peachy vinaigrette to drizzle all over the top. To make it, simply blend up one chopped peach with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, and a pitted date for sweetness.
Lastly, top the massaged kale with grilled peaches, fresh blackberries, red onion slices, and toasted pepitas! Toss with the homemade peach salsa, and serve!
Tips:
- You can add protein such as grilled chicken, salmon, or sliced steak to make it a full meal.
- You can swap blueberries or sliced mango for the blackberries. Most fruits would go well with it!
- Don’t have pepitas? Try toasted almonds or pecans.
