Ingredients

For the Red Wine Vinaigrette (Makes 16 Tablespoons)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh oregano finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic crushed or finely minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or kosher (adjust for your diet)
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper https://amzn.to/39fRjw0
  • 1 teaspoon honey (can use up to 2 teaspoons honey) I use raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain dijon mustard https://amzn.to/2Qu7E9J
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar https://amzn.to/3ddj8GC
  • 3/4 cups extra virgin olive oil https://amzn.to/3rsnaQ9

For the Salad:

  • 2 cups kale I use baby organic kale
  • 3/4 cups cherry tomatoes or grape and cut them in half or leave whole
  • 1 red bell pepper seeds removed and sliced
  • red onion thinly sliced. Use as much or as little as you like
  • 1/2 English cucumber diced
  • 2 slices Ataulfo mango diced (or use your prefered type of mango)
  • 2 ounces blue cheese use a good quality cheese and you can use up to 4 ounces
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons red wine vinaigrette (recipe included)

Instructions

Let's Make the Red Wine Vinaigrette:

  • In a measuring cup or bowl, add all the marinade ingredients. Whisk briskly until the vinaigrette is emulsified (creamy). Set aside while you assemble the salad.
    Note: The vinaigrette makes approximately 16 tablespoons. We use 1 to 2 tablespoons per person. The vinaigrette keeps for up to a week in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before using.

Let's Assemble the Salad:

  • Prepare two salad serving bowls. Divide the salad ingredients into two. You can add the ingredients into the salad bowls in any order you prefer. I like to add kale as the base and then follow with the remaining ingredients. Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of the red wine vinaigrette over each salad right before eating. Feel free to add your choice of protein beyond the cheese. Enjoy.
    Note: You can add as much veggies as you like.
