Seattle's Favorite Kale Salad
ScandoGirl
"This is my interpretation of a wonderful, good-for-you kale salad originally prepared by Seattle's top natural foods grocery chain. The flavorful wild rice, kale, and veggie combination with a lemony dressing can be made year-round and earns raves whenever it's served. It also keeps wonderfully, so make it ahead with no hesitation."

Ready In
- Whisk 1/2 cup lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until dressing is smooth.
- Bring water, wild rice, and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain excess liquid and cook uncovered until water is completely evaporated, about 5 minutes more. Stir rice and let cool slightly.
- Combine cabbage, red bell peppers, and fennel in the bowl with dressing; toss to evenly coat. Place kale on top of the cabbage mixture and spoon warm wild rice over kale; let sit until kale is slightly wilted, 5 to 10 minutes. Toss until salad is evenly mixed, adding more lemon juice to taste.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Two to three lemons will yield 1/2 cup lemon juice.
- If desired, crumbled blue cheese, toasted and chopped hazelnuts, and/or sliced radishes may be added to the salad.

This is a very healthy salad but next time I will sprinkle the salt over the kale and knead kale for 3-5 minutes. This tenderizes the kale and it's easier to eat. The rice poured over the kale...

Thought it was great. I think you could mix everything all together at once rather than waiting till the end to add the kale. I also added some blanched asparagus to it, and added a little garli...
