4 Types of Kale Salad

If you are looking to use more superfoods during the winter season, then leafy greens 
like kale is a great choice. Kale grows well in the winter and is easy to find at any 
grocery store. It is a superfood with tons of vitamins and minerals, and is great for many 
diets, from clean eating to Paleo or Keto. Here are four different types of kale salads to 
try out this winter.

Chopped Kale Superfoods Salad

This first salad is great when you want a chopped salad, and have some berries and 
quinoa you want to us as well. Since it has quinoa, it is a heartier salad that really fills 
you up. It is also ideal if you follow a clean eating diet. You are going to use chopped 
kale since this is a chopped salad, then add rinsed uncooked or cooked (cooled) quinoa 
for a nice crunch. You can add any superfood toppings you want, though berries like 
cranberries and pomegranate seeds work great. For more crunch, add some crushed 
walnuts as well.

Kale and Veggies Salad

Another great option for a winter kale salad is one that uses even more veggies. You 
can also add some berries to this salad, but it is going to be primarily for all the veggies 
you want to use. This can be a good main course, but it works good as a light lunch or a 
side dish as well. This salad uses fresh kale, along with some brussels sprouts, 
broccoli, and cauliflower, all of which are available throughout the fall and winter 
seasons. If you want to add a little fat to the salad, you can add some bacon bits as 
well. Nuts taste great on the top. Leave it as-is or make a simple dressing with olive oil, 
red wine vinegar, honey, and some lemon juice.

Kale Sweet Potato Salad

If you want to add more vegetable superfoods during the winter, consider vegetables 
like sweet potatoes and butternut squash. These begin showing up in grocery stores in 
the fall, and are often available throughout the winter as well. You can use either 
vegetable for this salad, or add some of both. Dice them into cubes, then add to your 
bed of kale, along with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also make a dressing 
with lemon juice if you want a little kick to the simple kale salad.

Kale and Apple Salad

Kale also happens to taste great when combined with sweet fruits. This kale and apple 
salad is perfect when you want to combine fall and winter flavors. Use your chopped 
kale, along with some sliced sweet apples, cranberries or pomegranate seeds, and 
some chopped walnuts and goat cheese on top.
