Herbed Salmon over Apple & Kale Salad
with Parmesan, Dried Cranberries & Dijon Dressing
Step aside, mixed greens—this hearty kale salad is the stuff of dinner dreams. You’ll toss kale with crisp, refreshing apple slices and Parmesan cheese in a creamy, tangy honey Dijon dressing. Top it all with garlic-herb seared chicken cutlets and sprinkle with dried cranberries for chewy-sweet textural contrast.
Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Instructions
• Wash and dry produce. • Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop into bite-size pieces. Halve, core, and thinly slice apple. • Place kale in a large bowl; using your hands, massage kale with a large drizzle of olive oil (similar to how you would knead dough) until leaves are tender, 1-2 minutes. TIP: Don’t skip this step—massaging helps the kale leaves wilt slightly, lending a tender (never fibrous!) texture.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about 1⁄2 inch thick. Season all over with garlic powder, half the thyme (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Transfer to a cutting board.
Swap in salmon* for chicken (no need to pound salmon!). Cook salmon (skin sides down) until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together honey Dijon dressing, mustard, and a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Slice chicken crosswise. • Add apple and Parmesan to bowl with kale. Toss with as much dressing as you like. • Divide salad between bowls. Sprinkle with dried cranberries. Top with chicken. Drizzle with any remaining dressing. Serve.
Serve salmon (no need to slice!) atop salad.
*Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
