Celebrate the Season Kale, Apple and Walnut (or Pumpkin Seed)

Print Recipe
This is a kale salad I whipped up in about 10 minutes, including 5 minutes to wash and chop the kale. It's delicious as a leftover salad for lunch the next day, too, and easy enough to double this recipe, which easily serves 4 as a salad side dish with a meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch curly leaf or lacinata kale washed and chopped semi-fine
  • 1 small Gala or other apple, cubed — I prefer one that is not too sweet, and not too tart, but Granny Smith's are nice for a tart version
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts OR if you don't tolerate tree nuts, try lightly toasted pumpkin seeds
  • Optional: 2 oz fresh good quality parmesan cubed
