Serving a healthy salad for dinner is one of the best ways I know to eat a good #SundaySupper without overindulging in anything but flavor.
Nutrient-dense kale starts us off, and to that we add protein-y chickpeas and canned wild salmon. It’s all anointed in a light, orangy dressing made from tart Seville oranges, in season right now. Because they are quite sour, they’re usually made into a classic orange marmalade, but I’m using them as a stand-in for lemons in this dressing.
The salad is further spiked with Kalamata olives and the Seville zest, for even more flavor.
You won’t feel deprived of anything, I promise!
Recipe: Raw Kale Salad with Chickpeas and Salmon in Orange Dressing
Summary: Healthy kale, chickpeas and wild salmon are anointed in a tangy Seville orange dressing to make a Raw Kale Salad perfect for a light dinner.
Ingredients
- 4-5 lacinato kale leaves, washed, stemmed and cut into thin ribbons (chiffonade cut)
- 1 (15-ounce) can organic chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 (6-ounce) can wild Alaskan salmon, drained (I used Bear & Wolf Pink Salmon from Costco)
- 1 Seville orange (need 4 tablespoons juice and 1 teaspoon zest)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced Kalamata olives (or use tapenade)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- ¾ teaspoon dried dill
- Garnish: 3 tangerines (1 for each serving, segmented) and 6 Kalamata olives (2 for each salad, halved)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large salad bowl. Stir and toss to combine well. Place in a lidded container and allow to marinate and rest in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours, for best results. This variety of kale will hold up well overnight!
- Serve in wide bowls and garnish with tangerine segments and Kalamata olive halves if you like.

Seville Oranges
These sour oranges are prized for making orange marmalade, and are quite juicy and seedy. Seville oranges give this salad a crisp, clean taste. Melissa’s Produce sent a sample of the Seville Oranges for recipe testing.

This is perfect!! I love the combination of olives and oranges but haven’t combined them into a kale salad. Love, love, love it!! I’m definitely making this.
Oh I bought a bunch of Seville oranges on offer the other day and really need to use them up. This salad sounds like a refreshing way to do that.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a Seville orange, but I think I would love it based on your description! Great salad!
Love the gorgeous color in your salad and all the flavors sound fantastic!Cannot wait to try 🙂
Family doesn’t like kale (their loss!) but they’d adore this on arugula
Sarah,
Oh yes, sub arugula if you like! Funny they don’t like kale, but like another bitter green.
I’ve used Kale in pasta, smoothies love making kale chips. I have never used it in a salad though. Sounds great!
Megan,
Kale is classic in a salad! Just chop it in fine ribbons and you’re good to go.
I have made kale chips, but never tried it in a salad. Next time I head to a TJ’s I will pick up a bag and make something similar.
I’ve recently become a fan of Kale. But truth be told I buy them from Trader Joe’s. I’m definitely going to have to try this one!
Martin,
Getting it washed, chopped and bagged from TJ’s is perfectly fine! You can simply chop it a little more finely and use it in any of my salads. Go and do!
I love salmon and oranges–but only tried canned salmon once and wasn’t impressed. I’ll try it again–this salad looks great.
Thanks, Dorothy!
What an cool combination of flavors for this salad! I have still never tried kale…I really need to!
Katie,
Quick, buy some Tuscan kale!
The idea of using the bitter oranges as lemons is really great! There are neighbourhoods here that have dozens of trees with those oranges, and nobody wants them anymore. A wonderful salad Dorothy!
Paula,
We tend to take for granted what we have in excess, don’t we? We import them and pay a handsome price!
This looks great Dorothy ! Yumm ! Loved your marmalade and love this too ! Salmon with this salad must be super yumm ! Can’t wait to try this !
Sunithi,
Oh yes, the salmon is very refreshing in this salad, and helps to make it a main-dish meal.
Such a beautiful salad. I’ve been waiting for this recipe ever since you posted about it in the group. Yum, yum, yum!
Yep, Renee, you must make it!
Yum! This looks like such a light, refreshing salad. Thanks for sharing!
Shannon,
Yeah, you can feel pretty virtuous when eating this!
I love kale salads! In fact I have some of my favorite kale superfood salad from Whole Foods in my fridge right now! I may need to take a break for lunch. lol
Absolutely gorgeous! So many flavors that I love and so colorful. Beautiful photography!
Isabel,
Thank you!
Those oranges looks so good! They caught my eye immediately. I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Sherron,
Thank you! These flavors went together really well!
I guess I am supposed to try kale raw since this is the second recipe in a row I’ve read for kale salad. Plus I love wild salmon, chick peas, Kalamata olives and tangerines. I think it’s fate.
Stacy,
Yep, time to get on the kale wagon with us!
Look at all these wonderful flavors combined together in a delicious salad. Yes. This is something I can totally get behind.
Nicole,
Thanks! Yep, this one is easy to like!
So much fabulous flavor! I love citrus and olives!
Brianne,
Then you MUST make this! It tastes very fresh and lively!
