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)

In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the white balsamic, honey, dijon mustard, shallot, and garlic. Slowly whisk in the oil in a slow and steady stream. Whisking the oil in slowly will help it to emulsify and become creamy. Season the dressing lightly with a pinch of sea salt and a few cranks of fresh cracked pepper.

12 FAVORITE KALE SALADS (PLUS TIPS!) - COOKIE AND KATE

From cookieandkate.com

Remove the ribs. Regardless of which variety of kale you choose (they all make great salads), you’ll first want to remove the tough ribs from the leaves.
Chop the kale. Then, you’ll want to chop the kale into pretty small, bite-sized pieces. Eating kale salads made with pieces of giant kale is mighty awkward.
Sprinkle with salt. Next, transfer the kale to a serving bowl and sprinkle it lightly with sea salt (salt helps cut the bitter flavor of kale).
Massage the kale. Yes, this step sounds ridiculous, but it makes all the difference. Reach into the bowl with (clean) hands and start grabbing handfuls of kale.
Dress the kale. Drizzle in a bold dressing and massage that into the leaves so the kale is lightly and evenly coated with dressing (this is important!).
Toss well. Now is the time to toss in additions like toasted nuts, grated/crumbled cheese and/or chopped raw fruits and veggies. If you have time, let the salad marinate for ten minutes before serving.
