Keep It Fresh

This salad is best enjoyed the moment you make it. The greens will wilt if they sit in dressing too long. If you must prep, keep the dressing separate until serving. Store the granola in a dry spot to keep that crunch.

Recipe Tips

• Use the freshest blueberries you can find for best flavor.
• Toast your walnuts lightly to bring out their natural oils.
• Add the granola at the very last second for maximum texture.
• Massage the kale slightly if you prefer a softer leaf.
• Use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the dressing.
• Double the dressing recipe to keep some in the fridge.
• Swap feta for goat cheese if you want more creaminess.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Swap blueberries for fresh sliced strawberries or raspberries.
• Use pecans or sliced almonds instead of walnuts.
• Add a scoop of Greek yogurt on the side for creaminess.
• Try maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan twist.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prep the ingredients but don’t mix them yet. Keep the dressing, greens, and toppings in separate containers. Assemble right before eating for the best experience.

Is this salad actually filling?

Yes, the healthy fats from walnuts and feta are satisfying. The fiber in the greens and berries keeps you full. Add a protein boost like hemp seeds if needed.

What kind of granola works best?

A simple honey or vanilla granola is your best bet. Avoid heavy chocolate flavors that might clash with the lemon. Look for big clusters for the best crunch.

You are going to obsess over this fresh start!
