Try mango and dried cherries instead of applesand cranberries. Sunflower or pumpkin seeds are finesubstitutes for pistachios.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of kale, any variety
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 tart apple
• Juice from 1/2 large lemon
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup unsalted pistachio nuts
• 1/2 small red onion
• 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled (optional)
• 1/4 cup virgin olive oil
Directions
- Wash kale.
- Strip the leaves from the ribs and tear into bite size pieces.
- Sprinkle salt onto the kale and massage in using your fingers. The kale will turn a darker green and start to release some of its juices.
- Core apples and dice into cubes. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
- Cut onion into fine dice.
- Add apples, onions, cranberries, pistachio nuts, olive oil and blue cheese to the kale.
- Toss well and refrigerate before serving.
