Kale Nutrition Benefits 

Excellent Source of Vitamin K

Vitamin K is a vital nutrient that helps support your body with blood clotting as well as the building of bones. One serving of kale has over 684% of the recommended daily value of this vitamin! 

Packed with Vitamin C

We all know vitamin C is great for our immune system, but it’s also an important part of tissue formation in the body. Kale gives you a whopping 139% of the recommended daily value.  

Supports a Healthy Heart 

Antioxidants are also included in kale’s amazing nutrient profile. This makes it a great heart-healthy, free-radical-fighting ingredient as well.

How To Make This Ultimate Satisfying Salad

First, toast your walnuts until golden brown. Next, lightly spread your dressing and assemble your kale and radicchio to your liking. Lastly, top with your apples and walnuts and enjoy! 

Tips For Making This Ultimate Satisfying Salad 

There are a couple of tips you should keep in mind that will help you store, add versatility, and enjoy this delicious nourish bowl.

Spread Your Dressing On The Plate

We traditionally think of dressings as toppers, right? Well this time, try something a bit different. When you’re arranging your ingredients intentionally on top, you can spread your dressing on the bottom of the plate to ensure every bite has a boost of your flavor factor! 

Prep Your Ingredients In Advance

Looking to speed up the prep time a bit? You can roast your walnuts and make your dressing at the beginning of the week when you meal prep. This will allow you to simply toss all of your ingredients together throughout the week and save you some time! 

FAQ About How To Make This Ultimate Satisfying Salad

What if I don’t like Dijon mustard?

Don’t sweat it! Dijon mustard isn’t for everyone, and that’s perfectly fine. Simply opt for your favorite Flavor Factor dressing instead, such as our Green Goddess Dressing!

Will almonds work well here?

Absolutely! You can make this recipe time and time again with different roasted nuts to keep it fresh and new. Or on the other hand, if you know you really love almonds instead of walnuts, feel free to roast and stick with those instead!
