Simple, fresh ingredients are what make this salad a bright addition to your table, No.614 Kale, Feta and Dill Salad from the Membership Collection.I know a kale salad, bla-bla, but not this one is anything but boring with its super-fresh lemony kick with salty-creamy feta and bright fresh herbs.

LOVE LEMON & OLIVE OIL

As if I needed another cookbook, this image is just a small representation of my vast cookbook collection. This recipe is from Lemon Love and Olive Oil from Mina Stone. I love the Greek influence in the recipes. The ingredients meld perfect with my SoCal roots. A beautiful book to add to your library.

LACINATO KALE

The kale of choice for this recipe is Italian Lacinato Kale, the chlorophyl-dense dark green leaves are a perfect foil for the fresh lemon, creamy feta cheese and crunch from toasted pumpkin seeds. It also goes by the name Dinosaur Kale due the rough texture of the leaves.

Sorghum Kale Chickpea & Olive Salad

Sorghum Kale Chickpea & Olive Salad

Do we really need another kale salad? Yes, another kale salad only lighter and with complex flavors. This is a great simple weekday lunch salad that will serve you well all during your work week. Sorghum Kale Chickpea and Olive Salad – No. 554 new in the Recipe Membership Collection.

KALE SALADS

It seems that Kale had its moment. Kale salads were everywhere. Now a softer, less kale assertive version emerges in this recipe. The strong green aspect of kale is softened by a fine chop, creamy chickpeas, Castelvetrano olives and salty feta. Other kale favorites include Dr. Weil’s Kale Salad from Tru Foods Kitchen and of course my Winter Caesar Salad.

SORGHUM

This salad goes grain and gluten-free with Sorghum, a great substitute for couscous. You cook sorghum much like any grain, and it can be made quickly in the Instant Pot. It is an ancient grain also packed with fiber and protein. You see it many times in American Southern recipes often used as Sorghum Molasses.

EXTRAS

The pickled onions are worth the effort to top the salad. Buy ready to go or make your own, it is very easy, there are many recipes out there.
Using a sheep’s milk feta adds the salty bite to the salad.
