Apple Dijon Kale Salad

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 10-15 cranks freshly cracked pepper
• 1/2 lb chopped kale, about one bunch
• 1 medium granny smith apple
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup walnut halves

Directions

1. Give the kale a thorough rinse in a colander with cool water running over it. Set it aside to drip dry while you pull together the rest of the salad.
2. Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic clove, salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend until the garlic is finely broken down and the dressing turns smooth.
3. Wash the apple, then either cut it into slim wedges or chop it into cubes. Give the walnut halves a rough chop.
4. Check the kale before it goes into the bowl; you want it as dry as you can get it. Add it to a large bowl with the apple, walnuts, and raisins. Pour on half of the dressing to begin, toss until the leaves are coated, then add more dressing if you want it; using all of it is totally fine.
