Kale & Cranberry Salad with Sweet Onion Dressing

I have been meaning to post this simple salad recipe for a while now. I made this for a cookout last weekend and it was a hit!


A while ago, I had the tastiest kale and cranberry salad from our local Giant Eagle Market that I wanted to try to recreate myself. The dressing was sweet and when mixed with the kale, dried cranberries and walnuts, it was like a party in my mouth! 

I found this bag of shredded kale, broccoli and cabbage from Trader Joe's that I thought would work perfect for my recreation. 

I dumped the whole bag of shredded greens (washed) into a large serving bowl.
Then, added some dried cranberries, candied walnuts and chopped pears. 
To top off the salad, I used Marzetti's Sweet Onion dressing. 

You could also add some cooked chicken or blue cheese to add some protein.

Note: If you are making this for a get together, it's best to chop and add the pears and the dressing right before you serve. 

And there you go! My new favorite Summer salad!



Enjoy and Happy Weekend!
