directions

Step 1

Whisk together the juice of the lemon, mustard and maple syrup or honey. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Rinse rice under warm water for 3 minutes. Add to a pot with 2 ½ cups water and a pinch of salt. Cover and bring a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes until rice is just tender. Drain off any excess water and set aside.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a large skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and the garlic and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the kale and sauté for 5 more minutes. Add the cranberries and the dressing. Cover and cook until kale is just tender, about 5 minutes more.

Step 4

Toss kale mixture and rice together. Top with toasted walnuts and crumbled Feta or goat’s cheese, if using. Salad will keep for 3 days and can be reheated in a microwave-safe container or eaten cold.
