The South Arm Women Community Kitchen resumes after the spring break. For this kitchen, Michelle shared information on incorporating more protein into our diet.

In line with above, Michelle shared a salad with almond and feta cheese which is a good source of protein.

This healthy kale salad is topped with a warm cranberry almond vinaigrette. The sweetness from the honey and shallot balanced well with the sourness of the vinaigrette and cranberry and the saltiness of the feta cheese.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey
• juice and zest of half a lemon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bunch kale, very thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup sliced almond
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese or feta cheese
