KALE SALAD WITH APPLES AND CHEDDAR



Kale Salad With Apples and Cheddar image

For a kale salad to be successful, use the most tender kale you can find and cut it into very thin filaments or chop it very finely (or both). Curly kale and Russian kale are more tender than black leaf kale. This is inspired by a wonderful salad I tried recently at the New York restaurant Northern Spy.

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt to taste
1 very small garlic clove, puréed
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan

  • Thinly Slice the Vegetables and Apples: This helps the dressing coat the ingredients evenly and makes them easier to eat.
  • Prepare the Dressing in Advance: This allows the flavors to meld and develop while you prepare the salad.
  • Toss the Salad Just Before Serving: This prevents the kale from wilting and keeps the salad fresh and crunchy.
  • Adjust the Dressing to Your Taste: Add more honey or lemon juice to balance the flavors, or adjust the amount of sesame oil for a stronger or milder flavor.
