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

Tips:

  • Choose tender kale. Look for kale with dark, glossy leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Massage the kale. This will help to break down the tough fibers and make the kale more tender.
  • Use a variety of toppings. This will add flavor and texture to the salad. Some good options include nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and cheese.
  • Dress the salad lightly. Kale can easily become soggy, so it's important to use a light hand with the dressing.
  • Enjoy the salad fresh. Kale salad is best eaten fresh, so it's best to make it just before serving.

Conclusion:

Sweet Annie kale salad is a delicious and nutritious salad that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. If you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad recipe, sweet Annie kale salad is a great option.
