Kale Apple Salad

Kale Apple Salad is a yummy way to enjoy kale with a sweet and savory finish.  I adapted this recipe from a magazine I picked up at our local grocery store Publix.  You’ll see it’s pretty impossible for me to follow a recipe exactly, so I think of recipes as inspirations – not rules to follow!

Instructions

1. Ok, this step is really important. Please see my video on how to massage kale. Trust me, you will thank me for it! After you have removed the stems and chopped the kale into strips, sprinkle a little salt over the kale. Then massage the kale for a few minutes. You will see the kale reduce in size by about 50% and it will get really dark and vibrant in color. This also reduces the bitterness.
2. Add the finished kale to bowl along with cabbage and julienned apples. Now let's make the dressing, which you can totally do ahead of time.
3. To a small bowl, add the orange oil or zest / juice, mustard, vinegar, oil oil and diced ginger - whisk well. Add dressing to the veggies and toss well; set in fridge for about an hour or eat right away. It totally get’s better the longer you let it marinade.
