Toasted pita bread on a salad! So now we’ve identified my favorite way to enjoy kale —> with carbs on top.

I might be taking a few creative liberties in calling this salad “Fall Fattoush”, but since I’ve included toasted pita bread on top, the signature ingredient, it works for me. While it might not be traditional, it’s certainly my favorite salad as of late.

Besides the homemade pita crisps, I can’t get enough of kale, juicy red grapes and mustard-maple dressing. The flavor combination is so incredible you might find yourself eating bowl after bowl of this. Just don’t blame me if you start craving kale salads on the regular. This is what we call healthy fall eats.

As with most of my salad recipes, I always want to include a make ahead option. Mainly, because I rely on salads for most lunches and hate nothing more than pulling out a soggy, wet salad. You know what I’m talking about.

To make and take, prepare the kale salad plain with cucumbers and hazelnuts. In a separate jar, make and store the dressing; I throw all the ingredients into a mason jar and shake-shake-shake until combined. Lastly, bring a small baggy of sliced grapes, a bag of pre-toasted pita bread, and a whole apple with you. I bring enough ingredients for 2-3 days worth of salads and just leave it in my office refrigerator. Oddly, no one has stolen my kale yet!

To assemble on site, toss the kale salad with dressing. Add the grapes and quickly slice the apple. Top with pita chips.
