Ingredients

Scale

1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
2–3 fresh peaches, pitted and chopped
1 cup blueberries
1/4 to 1/3 cup toasted pepitas

For the Lemon-Honey Dressing:

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Juice of 2 medium lemons
4 teaspoons honey
1–2 teaspoons extra light tasting olive oil (optional, for smoother dressing)
Cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ons:

Feta cheese, crumbled or cubed
Avocado slices
Grilled chicken strips

Instructions

Prepare the kale by removing stems and chopping the leaves. Massage with a tiny bit of olive oil if desired to soften.
In a large bowl, combine kale, chopped peaches, blueberries, and toasted pepitas.
In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juices, honey, light olive oil (if using), and cracked black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated.
Top with optional ingredients like feta, avocado, or grilled chicken before serving.

Notes

Massage kale with a bit of salt or olive oil to make it more tender.
The salad can be prepped ahead, but add peaches and dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess.
This salad pairs beautifully with grilled proteins or can be enjoyed as a light lunch.
