Ingredients

6 cups stemmed and coarsely chopped curly kale
1 avocado, diced
1 cup blueberries
1 cup halved yellow cherry tomatoes
1 cup cooked shelled edamame
¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Tip)
½ cup crumbled goat cheese (2 ounces)
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced chives
1 ½ teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Place kale in a large bowl and, using your hands, massage to soften the leaves. Add avocado, blueberries, tomatoes, edamame, almonds, and goat cheese.
Combine oil, lemon juice, chives, honey, mustard, and salt in a small bowl or in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Whisk or shake well.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine.

Tips

To make ahead: Wash, stem, and chop kale, cook edamame, toast almonds, and make vinaigrette (Step 2) up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate.

Tip: To toast sliced (or chopped) nuts, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
