Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh kale, stems removed and leaves chopped

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

1 cup fresh blueberries

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup sliced almonds (or walnuts)

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Kale: Start by washing the kale under cold water. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the kale in a large bowl.

    Massage the Kale (optional): To make the kale more tender, you can massage it lightly with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes until it wilts slightly and softens.

      Add Fruits: Fold in the sliced peaches and fresh blueberries into the bowl with the kale.

        Toast the Nuts: In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.

          Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper until well combined.

            Combine the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the kale, peaches, and blueberries. Add the toasted almonds and crumbled feta cheese. Toss gently to combine all ingredients, ensuring everything is coated in the dressing.

              Serve: Divide the salad among plates or a large serving bowl. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors of summer!
