2 Tbsp real maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard

1 lb. curly kale ((about 2 large bunches))

KALE AND APPLE SALAD

Kale and Apple Salad image

Antioxidant-rich kale is even better for you when eaten raw. Thin strips are softened in a light lemon dressing, then tossed with the savory-sweet blend of apple, dates, almonds and cheese. A little pecorino goes a long way in giving this nutritious salad a satisfying depth of flavor.

KALE SALAD WITH APPLES AND CHEDDAR

Kale Salad With Apples and Cheddar image

For a kale salad to be successful, use the most tender kale you can find and cut it into very thin filaments or chop it very finely (or both). Curly kale and Russian kale are more tender than black leaf kale. This is inspired by a wonderful salad I tried recently at the New York restaurant Northern Spy.
