Sweet Baby Kale Salad
15 mins
2
Ingredients
- 1 cup - fresh baby kale
- 2 - fuji apples
- 1/2 cup - dried apricots
- 1/4 cup - roasted pine nuts
- 1/2 - lemon juice
- 2 TBSP - real maple syrup
- 1/2 - extra virgin olive oil
- 1 TSP - dijon mustard
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- 1 Make salad dressing: combine lemon juice, maple syrup, Dijon, olive oil, salt and pepper. Dress kale leaves with 1/2 the salad dressing and set aside for 15 minutes – this will allow kale leaves to soften and de-biter slightly. If using large whole kale leaves, let stand dressed for 30 minutes.
- 2 Toast pine nuts for 5 minutes until golden brown. Peel, core and finely chop apples, and dice apricots. Combine all ingredients and serve.
