Best Mediterranean Kale Salad that's Healthy and Quick
There was a time when kale wouldn’t have made it anywhere near my plate. If you had told the “old me” to eat a bitter, dark green leaf, I would’ve said, “No thanks—pass the fries.” But everything changed when I started focusing on my health. As I became more intentional about what I put in my body, I gave kale a second chance. And guess what? It grew on me. Now, it’s a staple in my kitchen—not just because it makes me feel good, but because it does good.
The Ultimate Superfood
Kale is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, loaded with antioxidants, and a great source of fiber. It supports your immune system, helps with digestion, and may even reduce inflammation. It’s basically a leafy green powerhouse—and when you massage it just right, it becomes tender and delicious.
This Mediterranean salad is now one of my go-to meals. It’s fresh, vibrant, satisfying, and comes together in just minutes. It's seriously the best mediterranean kale salad you can make quickly.
Best Mediterranean Kale Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
Kale (washed, de-stemmed, and chopped)
Chickpeas (optional, for extra plant-based protein)
Cherry tomatoes (halved)
Feta cheese
Juice of one lemon
Quinoa (cooked; may use cooled or warm)
Sea Salt
Olive oil
Instructions:
Wash the kale thoroughly. Cut out the thick center veins, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and massage it with a small drizzle of olive oil until soft and darker in color (about 2 minutes).
In a large salad bowl, combine:
Massaged kale
Cooked quinoa
Halved cherry tomatoes
Crumbled feta cheese
Juice of one lemon
A pinch of salt
Mix everything together gently.
Top with chickpeas if you’re using them.
Serve with an extra wedge of lemon for added zing.
