Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp real maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
Salt (and freshly ground black pepper, to taste)
1 lb. curly kale ((about 2 large bunches))
1 large (9 oz.) apple, (recommend gala, julienned)

Whisk dressing again then pour over salad. Toss well to evenly coat.

Time 8m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 bunch fresh kale, chopped (enough to cover your skillet)
1/8 red bell pepper, chopped
1/8 yellow onion, chopped
2 white button mushrooms, chopped
1 fresh garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons organic butter
2 teaspoons quality balsamic vinegar
asiago cheese, to taste

Steps:

In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter and saute onions, pepper, and mushrooms until browned around edges.
Add balsamic vinegar to skillet, and let it cook out the vinegar a bit, just a good 5 second.
Reduce heat to low, and add in big bunch of fresh, chopped kale and garlic. Mix the contents until the kale is fully coated with the butter, balsamic, and veggies. The kale should just be slightly warm, not wilted.
Transfer the contents of the skillet onto a plate. Grate fresh asiago (I prefer the big shreds) over the top, if desired.
Enjoy.
