2–3 cups chopped kale

1/4 cup of balsamic store-bought dressing, simple green salad dressing, or just olive oil and lemon

2–3 oranges, cut into rounds

8 small cooked beets (2 packages if you’re buying Love Beets)

1 minced shallot

1/2 cup truffle ricotta or ricotta cheese

1/2 cup pistachios, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh mint OR other chopped herbs you like (basil, chives, or thyme would be good)

Steps

Massage kale with a bit of the dressing to soften it. Trust me – it will taste way better.

Cut the beets, oranges, and shallots.

Spread a little bit of your creamy element onto the serving platter. If this is a salad for one, I would use about 3 tablespoons. If it’s a salad for 4-6, I would use more like 1/2 cup.

Layer the rest of the 6 ingredients: massaged kale, beets, oranges, shallots, pistachios, and herbs. Finish with olive oil, salt, and pepper if you want. I love this salad with a hunk of good focaccia.

Notes

I like the simple green salad dressing for this – I think it works perfectly on the kale. The Maple Balsamic dressing from Trader Joe’s is a bit more on the creamy side and also works great.
