Steps:

  • Strip washed kale leaves off stems. Chiffonade (cut in long, thin strips) or small chop  and place in large bowl.

  • Add olive oil to the bowl and massage the kale for few minutes, until it becomes bright green and softens. **
  • Core washed apple, cut in half and slice thinly. Add to massaged kale.
  • Add dressing, toss well to mix. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve at room temperature.

** If not serving immediately, skip this step.  Dressing will soften kale.
