Refresh with Kale Apple Salad

I feel like every fall I end up making the same salad over and over and over. This is it for me. I make renditions of this all the time. Sometimes I’ll add an anchovy filet to the dressing. Sometimes I’ll add a bunch of crushed red pepper to make it super spicy. Sometimes I’ll add dill instead of parsley. But it’s usually the same for the most part. It’s my favorite type of salad. It’s tart and refreshing and yet still screams winter/fall to me.

The walnuts are delicious nutty edition and I will be very bold with this next statement and declare that walnuts are my favorite type of nut.

This salad is great to make ahead because you can add everything to the bowl and then don’t mix it together right before you’re ready to serve. And honestly even if you forget that instruction and toss it together and come back in two hours, the salad will still be delicious. I feel like the kale will be more broken down but yet still magical in just a slightly different way.
