Kale salad is sweet and delish. It will make a kale lover out of anyone!! For more must make salads, try Favorite Broccoli Salad, Chicken Caesar Salad, and Strawberry Harvest Salad.
Kale Apple Salad
Natalie from Life Made Simple has a salad recipe that’s perfect for fall. It’s topped with chunks of apple, candied pecans, dried cranberries, and my favorite part – bacon! We love this kale salad because it has so much flavor going on. It’s sweet thanks to the apple and candied pecans, slightly salty because of the bacon, and tart and tangy with the dried cranberries and vinaigrette. The kale is so mellow and tender it’s almost unrecognizable. However, if you do want to swap it out for some other greens, try shaved Brussels sprouts or a spring mix.
Kale Salad Dressing
This kale salad comes together in minutes. We love making a sweet dijon vinaigrette using apple cider and grainy mustard. It’s divine! For the dressing you’ll need:
Shallot Whole grain and regular Dijon mustard Maple syrup Apple cider vinegar Apple cider Salt and pepper Olive oil or a mild tasting oil
PULSE + POUR. Pulse everything in a food processor or whisk vigorously to emulsify it. Pour it over the salad and toss to combine.
