Chicken Kale Waldorf Salad
For more beautiful skin overall, this healthy alternative to a classic Waldorf salad has a great balance of glow-inducing fats, skin-smoothing protein, anti-aging antioxidants and hydrating veggies. Kale is one of the most vitamin C-rich foods on the planet; one cup of chopped kale supplies 130 percent of your daily recommended intake of this antioxidant. Chicken and walnuts provide a big dose of protein and healthy fats. Apples and grapes are high in water, collagen-boosting flavonoids and skin-smoothing polyphenols.
Ingredients
1 bag baby kale (about 6-8 cups)
1 granny smith apple, chopped
1/2 cup seedless red grapes, halved
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/2 medium ripe avocado, diced or sliced
2 leftover grilled chicken breasts (8 ounces), diced into cubes
1/4 cup walnuts halves (1 ounce)
Dressing
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread walnuts on baking sheet, and toast in oven for 8 minutes until fragrant and golden. Remove from oven, allow to cool, then chop into small pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss kale, apples, grapes and cranberries together. Pour dressing over the fruit and lettuce. Toss again to combine. Top the salad with goat cheese, avocado, chicken and toasted walnuts.
