Rubbed Kale Salad Waldorf Style

Servings 10 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 olive oil for rubbing
  • 2 bunches kale freshest possible
  • 1 teaspoon salt for rubbing
  • 2 green apples cored and chopped
  • 0.5 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1 cup fennel bulb chopped
  • 0.5 cup toasted pecans or more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash and drain kale. Tear it into bite-size pieces. Sprinkle on half the salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Gently rub kale with your bare hands to break down and release the brilliant green color. Taste it - add more salt if desired or if too salty, don't salt the dressing. Combine the kale with remaining ingredients and toss with Apple Cider Vinaigrette.  Variations: Can add grilled chicken, chopped avocado, different toasted nuts or seeds, or fresh pomegranate seeds in lieu of dried fruit.  (Recipe #737)
