Best Ever Paleo Kale Salad

Best Ever Paleo Kale Salad

This is definitely the best kale salad I’ve made! Loads of flavor, easy pickled onions, toasted almonds, avocado and more with a tangy maple dijon dressing. Great for a light meal, picnics, BBQ’s and really anytime! Paleo, gluten free, dairy free, vegan.

I’m a huge fan of kale whether it’s cooked or in salad form – it holds flavor so well and I can’t get enough!

I never thought I’d love kale 10 years ago.

But as I discovered how incredible it is when sautéed really crispy, (like here with bacon) and how well it holds dressing and doesn’t wilt, it’s become an easy favorite!

I loaded up this paleo and vegan salad with pickled onions, avocado, apples, cranberries, toasted almonds and a little vegan parmesan, which is totally optional.
The dressing is a simple dijon vinaigrette that you can shake together in seconds. Let’s get into more of the details!

Ingredients:
Pickled onions
  • 1 large red onion very thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Salad
  • 3/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 bunch kale finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil + dash sea salt
  • 1 apple thinly sliced or julienned (I used honey crisp)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries fruit sweetened
  • 1 avocado peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup vegan parmesan cheese optional

Dressing
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
