Ingredients

2 cups chopped lacinato kale
1 cup cherry tomatoes
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
2-3 TBSP roasted salted pepitas
2 TBSP finely chopped red onion
½ lemon (juiced)
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp red wine vinegar
¼ tsp dried oregano leaves
⅛ tsp sea salt
⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

This scrumptious salad is oh so easy to make. First combine your dressing ingredients (fresh lemon juice, evoo, red wine vinegar, oregano, and salt and pepper) and whisk well.
Next remove kale leaves from the center stem and chop. Wash and dry (a salad spinner works great here) and add to a medium-large bowl.
Add a teaspoon of dressing to the kale and massage it into the leaves to make them tender and silky.
Next peel and finely chop red onion and add to the dressing to marinate while you prep the rest of the salad.
Halve or chop tomatoes and crumble fresh feta off the block. Whisk the dressing once more, then add tomatoes, pepitas, and feta to the salad. Mix well to coat. Feel free to add any extra seasoning or toppings you'd like. If adding lots of extras, simply make a little extra dressing to cover all the veggie goodness. Enjoy!

Notes

For the tomatoes, feel free to use cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, vine-ripened tomatoes, or even roma tomatoes - any variety you love and have on hand will work marvelous.
