- 1 medium radicchio
- ½ cucumber
- 2 tbsp crushed walnuts
- ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 tsp olive oil
Dressing (Optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Kale: Wash the kale thoroughly. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place the kale in a large salad bowl.
- Prepare the Other Vegetables and Fruits: Rinse the red grapes, cherry tomatoes, radicchio, and cucumber. Halve the grapes and cherry tomatoes. Slice the radicchio and cucumber thinly.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the halved grapes, cherry tomatoes, sliced radicchio, and cucumber to the bowl with the kale. Toss gently to mix.
- Add Nuts and Cheese: Sprinkle the crushed walnuts and blue cheese crumbles evenly over the salad.
- Dress the Salad: Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil and, if desired, apple cider vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and coat evenly with dressing.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a fresh and healthy side or light meal.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the walnuts lightly before adding.
- Blue cheese can be substituted with feta for a milder taste.
- The salad is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the kale and vegetables.
- Apple cider vinaigrette is optional and can be adjusted to taste or replaced with your preferred dressing.
