Ingredients
  

For Massaging Kale:

  • 1 bunch lacinato kale, washed, rinsed, and cut or curly kale
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

For The Salad Dressing:

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise, or vegan mayo
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, or red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For The Salad:

  • 1 apple, cut into small cubes (I kept the skin on)
  • 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
  • 1/2 cup celery stalks, cut into small pieces, 2 medium-size
  • 1 cup walnuts, lightly roasted
  • ½ cup dried raisins, or cranberries

Instructions
 

  • Place rinsed and cut kale in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and kosher salt. Using clean hands, gently rub kale leaves for 2-3 minutes, turning often to make sure all kale leaves are softened.
  • Make the salad dressing by mixing together mayonnaise, plain yogurt, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl or jar.
  • To assemble the salad: Add apple cubes, grapes, celery stalks, walnuts, and raisins into the bowl with massaged kale. Drizzle it with the salad dressing.
  • Give it a toss to make sure everything is combined. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be kept for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. After the 3-day mark, the fruit and vegetables will become mushy.
