This vibrant vegan salad combines robust winter greens with the bright, citrusy punch of kumquats. By using a mix of kale, mustard greens, and escarole, you create a base of varying textures and bitter notes that pair beautifully with a crisp apple cider vinaigrette. It is a refreshing departure from standard leafy salads, offering a sophisticated balance of flavours that feels both light and deeply nourishing.
Ideal as a healthy lunch or a zesty side dish for a weekend dinner, this recipe is particularly convenient as the components can be prepped the night before. Chilling the greens and fruit overnight ensures they remain crisp, while the final addition of toasted pumpkin seeds and fresh chives provides a satisfying crunch and a savoury finish to every bite.

Ingredients for Hearty Greens with Kumquats
12 cups mixed hearty greens (such as escarole, mustard greens, and kale)
1 cup kumquats, cut into thin rounds, seeded
80g Granny Smith Apple Cider Vinaigrette
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup 1" pieces chives
3 tablespoons roasted salted shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
How to make Hearty Greens with Kumquats
Store 12 cups mixed hearty greens (such as escarole, mustard greens, and kale; if using mustard greens or kale, fold leaves over and cut off tough centre rib and stems) and 240ml kumquats, cut into thin rounds, seeded, in 2 separate resealable plastic bags. Chill greens and kumquats overnight. Before serving, empty bags with greens and kumquats into a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup Granny Smith Apple Cider Vinaigrette to salad and toss to evenly coat.
Add more vinaigrette, if desired. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and scatter 1/4 cup 1" pieces chives and, for a little crunch, 3 tablespoons roasted salted shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas) over.
