Healthy Autumn Apple & Kale Raw Salad

I like to take advantage of tasty autumn apples by making a healthy salad that consists of kale, Honeycrisp apples, hazelnuts, dried cranberries, and a light homemade dressing. Apart from their appetizing crunch, Honeycrisp apples have a clean and sweet flavor. They are a mixture of sweet and tart that creates a unique and flavorful apple. As an added bonus, Honeycrisp apples have a longer shelf life, if stored properly.

  • Dressing
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1 Shallot (Minced)
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger (Minced)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Salad
  • 6 Cups Tuscan Kale (Stems Removed)
  • 2 Honeycrisp Apples (Cored/Sliced)
  • 3/4 Cup Hazelnuts
  • 1/2 Cup Dried Cranberries
  1. To prepare the dressing, combine all dressing ingredients in a large-size jar. Shake well until combined.
  2. To prepare the salad, chop the kale and place it in a large-size mixing bowl. Gently massage the kale to soften it. Transfer kale to a large-size serving bowl.
  3. Arrange the apple slices over the kale. Scatter the hazelnuts and cranberries over the kale.
  4. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
