Always remember to eat your greens! Leafy greens, such as kale, spinach, collards, or chard, contain vital nutrients that contribute to overall health and wellness. When you combine them with other flavorful foods, they are much more enjoyable to eat. Consider this salad, for example, which contains tart green apple, sweetly tart blueberries, and nutty pistachios. The vinaigrette dressing is tahini-based and explodes with tangy flavor.

It is very easy to see a kale salad on a menu and look the other way. Kale salads are truly hit or miss, and the ones that are misses tend to contain the thick bitter kale stems. The thicker stems are not palatable and completely throw off the flavor of the salad. Instead, remove those thick stems after you thoroughly rinse the kale leaves. Once you remove those stems, it is important to finely chop the kale leaves. Kale can easily retain texture, but you don’t want to eat large pieces of kale because of how bitter a green it is. The fine chop also helps to break down the fibrous texture and makes it easier to chew and enjoy.

The great thing about this kale salad is that it contains an assortment of antioxidants, healthy fats, fiber, protein, and vitamins and minerals. Kale is naturally rich in vitamin K, iron, protein, fiber, and more, while blueberries have vitamin C and other antioxidant compounds. Green apples are more nutritionally dense than red apples, which is why we love to use them in our recipes. You can, however, use another apple variety if you prefer the flavor. If you make this salad and love it, let us know in the comments so that we can provide more recipes like this!

Summer is stone fruit season, which means that peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, and cherries are available in grocery stores. Sure, you may be able to find peaches and nectarines in some stores throughout the year, but summer is when you get to enjoy the freshest varieties. For this fruit salad, you’ll toss together five different stone fruit varieties, some freshly chopped mint, and a simple vanilla, maple dressing for a slightly sweet bite.

One your next trip to the market, be on the lookout for in-season stone fruits, which should take center stage. These stone fruits are the most ripe and offer the best texture and sweetness. The combination of textures and flavors is really what this stone fruit salad aims to showcase. Peaches and nectarines come in yellow and white options, but you can choose the ones you prefer. If you want a more colorful stone fruit salad, consider using white nectarines and yellow peaches, or vice versa. The plums offer a deep red-purplish hue and slightly tart flavor profile. If they are softer, then they’ll be on the sweeter side.

Apricots add a wonderful orange color to the fruit salad, and the dark red cherries make it pop! If you prefer Rainier cherries, which have a whiter color, then you can use those if they are available to you. Now, if you just want to cut up the fruit and toss them together, that is a perfectly acceptable way to assemble a fruit salad. This fruit salad does come with a mint and maple dressing, which sets off the natural sweetness of the stone fruit. Choose your own culinary destiny! Both paths lead to deliciousness!

After a long winter of hardy, warm comfort foods, you are in desperate need of freshness. Spring is here and the heavy casseroles are not! The sun is shining, the days are longer, and fresh produce is plentiful. Your taste buds are yearning for freshness! And what’s more refreshing than a fruit salad? It is very easy to make and incorporates a variety of colorful fruits into your day. A fruit salad is truly the perfect snack for a potluck or picnic.

While this recipe has a list of fruit, you can swap out some for others if you have favorites. For example, if you prefer blackberries to blueberries, feel free to use them instead. Not a fan of oranges? Swap them out for crisp apples. One thing is for sure, and it’s that this fruit salad has no shortage of vitamin C. Kiwis are some of the richest sources of vitamin C, but strawberries, blueberries, and oranges offer impressive amounts as well. Not to mention, all of the different colors mean that you will get an assortment of antioxidants and flavonoid compounds, which encourage healthier cells and fight free radicals.

One thing that is up for debate is whether or not to dress a fruit salad. Some people only want to enjoy the natural flavors of the fruits, while others prefer a simple dressing. There’s no right or wrong way to fruit salad, but should you want to dress your fruit salad, whisk together the juice of one lime and a teaspoon of raw agave nectar. The combination of citrus and sweetness complements the natural sugars within the fruit.
