Kale and Clementine Salad For Aloha.com

Now that we are well into Fall and Winter is around the corner, I have been enjoying winter fruit, namely clementines.  These sweet little oranges are easy to peel and are so delicious!  Usually I just have a few for a snack but I had been meaning to try them in a seasonal salad recipe too.  Aloha.com recently reached out to me to create a dish to pass for their recipe page and I thought this type of salad would be the perfect one to create for them. The combo of earthy kale, tangy clementines, crunchy jicama and chewy raisins is a winner and the citrusy dressing really makes the salad.  Hope you enjoy this healthy dish and check out some of the other yummy recipes over at Aloha too!

Ingredients:

6 cups chopped kale

2 cups peeled and chopped Clementine segments (about 6 whole clementines)

2 cups peeled and chopped jicama

1/3 cup raisins

Dressing:

½ cup Clementine juice (juice from about 4 clementines works)

¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

Put the kale, clementines, jicima and raisins in a large sized bowl. In a smaller bowl whisk together the juice, rice vinegar and olive oil. Pour the dressing into the bowl and mix well. Chill and serve. * If not serving withing a few hours, it is recommended to store the dressing separate and mix right before serving
