Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Honeycrisp apples, thinly sliced

  • 0.5 tablespoon olive oil (for massaging kale)
  • 0.75 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 0.5 cup walnuts, lightly toasted
  • 0.5 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent apple browning)
  • 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  5. On a large serving plate, lay down the massaged kale. Arrange apple slices on top in a circular pattern or mix in casually.
  6. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts, crumbled feta, and pomegranate seeds.
  7. Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the salad just before serving.
