I love super elaborate salads with plenty of ingredients. Sometimes though all we crave is something quick and easy. This Simple Kale Salad hits the spot if you ask me. Just 3 main ingredients and the secret is really in the dressing. Isn’t the secret always in homemade salad dressings?
INGREDIENTS
- 1 bunch kale
- 2 cups sliced red cabbage
- 1 Honeycrisp apple
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1.5 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

- pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the dressing by adding finely grated fresh ginger, mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, and sea salt and pepper to taste to a sealable jar and shake to combine.
- Destem the kale and cut it into fine stripes. Then wash and spin dry.
- Finely slice red cabbage. Then wash and spin dry.
- Add kale and cabbage to a large salad bowl and pour dressing over it, then use your clean hands to massage the dressing into the leaves. Tossing with spoons won’t do the trick. Really massage the leaves in between your fingers.
- Core the apple and cut it into thin strips and add it to the rest of the salad and give it one last mix.
