Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

For the Salad:

  • 6 cups kale, finely chopped
  • ⅔ cup dried cranberries
  • ¾ cup toasted pecans or cashews
  • ½ large red onion, thinly sliced

For the Fat Free Creamy Lemon Thyme Dressing:

  • ¾ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, very finely minced or ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • Zest of ½ large lemon, finely minced
  • Juice of ½ large lemon or more, if desired
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp. honey or to taste
  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped or ½ tsp. dried thyme
  • Pinch or two of salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ tsp. smoked paprika, optional

Instructions
 

To prepare the salad:

  • In a large bowl, add all of the salad ingedients; toss until completely combined.

To prepare the salad dressing:

  • In a salad dressing container, simply whisk all of the ingredients together until well combined.
  • This dressing can be made a couple of hours or a day ahead if you like; ensure lid is tight and store in the refrigerator; the flavours tend to meld together better if made a little in advance of using.
  • When ready to serve, add the dressing to the salad ingredients; toss again to completely blend.
