Tuscan Kale Salad with Apples and Cheddar
This Tuscan Kale Salad is easy to make for a quick lunch or even dinner! It's filling and delicious.
Ingredients
- 5 oz Tuscan kale
- 1 red apple, small
- ¼ cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ⅛ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Wash the kale and then remove the center rib/stem of each leaf. Cut the kale into 2 inch pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Dice the apple into small chunks, leaving the core behind. Add to the bowl.
- Shred ¼ cup cheddar cheese. Put most in the bowl, reserving a bit for adding to the top of the salads.
- Into a mason jar or other jar/container with a lid, add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, honey, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Shake until well combined. Pour over the salad and then toss the salad together with the dressing.
- Plate the salad onto two plates or bowls and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
Notes
- Tuscan kale is also referred to as dinosaur kale and a few other names. It can be found at some grocery stores and farmer's markets. If you cannot find it, curly kale will work great in this salad too.
- Use a high-quality cheddar cheese for this salad.
