The tangy vinaigrette adds a fruity touch
Kale is the latest power food on the market these days, and it’s not without reason. This leafy green is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber, but it’s also super low in calories at about 10 per cup. This raw kale salad recipe is full of crunchy apples and sautéed onions, and topped with a sweet and slightly tart raspberry vinaigrette. If you like tender greens, try baby kale leaves, but any variety of the dark leafy green will do. Instead of using iceberg lettuce in your next salad recipe, try this kale salad with raspberry vinaigrette. You won’t be disappointed.
