Kale Salad with Blood Oranges

A bright massaged kale salad layered with sweet blood oranges and minneola tangerines, topped with crunchy toasted pistachios. This simple salad is a show stopper! We love this with lacinato kale, but use any kale you have on hand. The kale is best if it's allow to soak in the dressing for a few hours before served, and holds up to the dressing for a couple of days refrigerated, so it makes a great meal prep option!

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches lacinato kale (about 10 cups chopped kale)
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Minneola Tangerine Juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 Sunkist® Blood Oranges peeled and sliced
  • 2 Minneola Tangerines peeled and sliced
  • 1/3 cup pistachios roasted and salted

Instructions

  • Wash the kale, and then dry it well.
  • Chop the kale into bite sized pieces. Destem the kale if you'd like, but I just trim the bottoms and leave the stems on.
  • Add the kale to a salad bowl, and then drizzle with balsamic vinegar, avocado oil, orange juice and lemon juice. Massage the dressing into the kale. Allow the kale to sit in the dressing refrigerated for 4-5 hours prior to serving. It's okay to serve the salad right away, but allowing the kale to soak in the dressing makes it softer and more flavorful.
  • Top the salad with sliced oranges and pistachios.
  • This salad makes wonderful leftovers and stays fresh tasting for 2-3 days, so it's a great option for meal prep! If I do this, I keep the pistachios separate so they stay crunchy.
