Notes

  • Tip 1: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can last for up to two days.
  • Tip 2: This salad is not ideal for freezing due to the texture of kale and the apple. It’s best fresh!
  • Tip 3: This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish. It’s a brilliant side dish for any outdoor barbecue.
  • Tip 4: Use the freshest ingredients possible. Organic kale and local apples will elevate your salad significantly.
  • Tip 5: Turn this salad into a full meal by adding proteins like chickpeas or quinoa. It will not only make it heartier but also add even more nutrients.
  • Tip 6: Feel free to experiment! Add your favorite nuts, fruits, or even cheeses to customize the salad to your liking.
