A crunchy raw salad with earthy flavors and a sweet honey vinaigrette!
Servings 4 cups
Calories 350kcal
Ingredients
- 1 rutabaga trimmed and peeled
- 2 small apples or 1 large apple
- 1 cup finely chopped kale
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 5 pitted dates sliced; more to taste
For the dressing
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the rutabaga and apples by slicing them into matchsticks with a knife or by using a julienne peeler. You can also grate the rutabaga and apples with a hand or box grater. I prefer to peel the rutabaga but keep the peels on the apples. Combine the slices with the finely chopped kale in a large bowl. Add the walnuts and dates.
- In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the dressing and whisk until smooth. Pour over the salad ingredients and toss until coated.
- Enjoy chilled for about 20 minutes or at room temperature!
Notes
- This dish is best served right away or chilled for a short time period (~20 minutes), since the apple can start to brown after a while.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to substitute other dried fruit for the dates, such as dried apricots, or other nuts for the walnuts, like pecans or pistachios.
