Shredded kale and spinach salad makes for a perfect dinner for two or an ideal side salad. It’s easy to make, great for using up leftover kale and spinach.
This delicious kale and spinach salad is packed full of sweet flavours which compliment perfectly the soft crunchy texture.
Not only that, this amazing healthy chopped salad has a whole lot more going on too with all the goodness of hazelnuts, carrot, tomatoes and sultanas.
You can bet your taste buds will be thanking you for this tasty spinach kale salad combo.
Plus its packed full of nutritional goodness.
Recently when I was making a batch of my sweet potato and kale hotpot I was struck with a predicament.
What to do with the leftover kale?
Maybe some chorizo, tomato lentil and kale soup for the freezer or perhaps a kale and pepper frittata brunch option?
Nope, I thought I would chance it with a brand new salad recipe.
Now what I mean by "chance it" is that I could actually be making this in the middle of a raging blizzard outside!
You see our climate in Scotland can be pretty unpredictable.
One day it can be beautiful blue skies.
The very next day rain and yet more rain......
So while the weather at the moment is reasonably dry and fair.
That could all change.......
And, I have been known to jinx the weather whenever I bring out a new salad!
Anyway, fingers crossed. I'd still eat this kale spinach salad all year round anyway no matter what the weather. It's just so delicious.
It's just life isn't it? Anything can happen!

Hah! I totally understand the whole 'what am I going to do with this random leftover ingredient' thing. My wife (Laura) is famous for turning all sorts of my leftover blog ingredients into tacos. I mean tacos are amazing, right? ๐ I'm not sure a kale + spinach salad taco would work, but I'll glad take this one in salad form. Sounds delicious...and healthy! Also, Scotland. I love Scotland. Laura and I traveled there a few years ago, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get back again.

David, you are lucky that Laura has such a talent for turning your leftovers into tacos! I must mention that to Lynne, who will probably say "but you never have any leftovers I can make things with.......". ๐ But if it can go into a quick omelette, she's usually pretty good at that!
Wow, I'm so glad that you've been to Scotland before! I know I often complain about the weather but I also realise I'm fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. (When the clouds have lifted and you can see it! ๐ )

I absolutely, positively ADORE spinach. In any way, shape and form. Kale, that's another story. However, if it is drenched in olive oil... I can make it work!
neil@neilshealthymeals.com
You would be absolutely fine with this GiGi because you can't taste the kale for the sweet tasting tangy dressing.
I wouldn't be a fan of tasting it in its raw form either without the dressing! We're in agreement there! ๐
