- 1/2 head romaine lettuce (about 3 handfuls)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 33333333/100000000 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped (about 2 ounces)
- 33333333/100000000 cup pickled red onion (recipe below)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- feta cheese, to taste (dairy or non-dairy)
- ranch dressing, to taste (store-bought or homemade)
- salt and pepper, to taste For the Marinade
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt Pickled Red Onion
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Step 1: Let's first prepare the quick pickled onions. In a small jar, combine the sliced onions with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Shake and refrigerate.
- Step 2: Preheat the oven to 410°F. Slice the potatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Toss the potato slices in 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the potato slices evenly on a baking sheet and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping over the slices halfway through the cooking time. The potatoes will be ready when they are fork tender. Set aside.
- Step 3: Remove the hard stems from the kale. Chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Add the salad marinade ingredients and use your hands to massage the marinade into the kale leaves. The kale with soften and lose volume as you do so. Note: even if you are making this salad ahead of time, do not skip this step of massaging the leaves.
- Step 4: Chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and add it to the massaged kale. Add the walnuts and olives and toss to combine.
- Serve: Divide the salad into bowls and top each with an even amount of the warm potatoes, pickled onions (drained), and feta. Drizzle with ranch dressing and enjoy.
