Copycat Chick Fil A Superfood Salad

 Ingredients

• 4 cups kale, loosely chopped or torn
• Maple vinaigrette to your taste
• 1 bunch broccolini, chopped
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• Roasted nuts to your taste (I used walnuts)

Instructions

• Combine the kale, broccolini, dried cherries, and nuts in a large bowl.
• Add vinaigrette to the salad, and toss well. Note: I like tossing with the vinaigrette about 15 minutes before I serve it because the kale will soften in the vinaigrette.

Maple Vinaigrette

• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (preferably Grade B)
• 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt ,or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ,or to taste
