1 bunch curly kale, stems removed
1/2 medium apple, peeled and cut in 1/4-inch pieces

1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts (pecans, hazelnuts, almonds or cashews work, too)

Notes

Use your imagination. Try pomegranate instead of apple. Don’t like nuts? Swap in pumpkin seeds or sesame seeds instead. Want to ease into kale? Replace some of it with baby spinach, spring mix or lettuce. Use your favourite homemade dressing or simply drizzle the salad with good quality oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
