Harvest Kale Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Kale rocks!  It's a super food!   No really, it is one of the super foods.  Here are some facts about Kale:

Kale is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, B6, manganese, calcium, copper, and potassium! One cup of kale contains 192% of the daily value of vitamin A and 90% of your RDA for vitamin C. Vitamin C also reduces cancer-causing free-radicals.   

Instead of using Kale for garnish, use it for a salad!  We cut it in strips like cabbage slaw and in this Waldorf-inspired recipe, we prefer the light green curly kale which is the most common in grocery stores. BTW- We are IN LOVE with apple cider vinaigrette!  




Ingredients:
1 bunch kale, thoroughly washed and cut into strips
1 cup red, seedless grapes, halved
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 Granny Smith apple cut into cubes
3 celery stalks, diced
red onion slices

Apple Cider Vinaigrette
1/2 cup apple cider
1/4 apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp pepper
Salt to taste
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup grapeseed oil
Salt/Pepper to taste

Directions:
Mix salad and dress with apple cider vinaigrette.
