Recipe Notes
I mentioned above the easiest way to prepare your kale is to simply chop it or slice it into smaller pieces. But, some folks also like to 'massage' their kale in order to soften it up instead.
I also mentioned which apples go best with kale and spinach in a salad.
Obviously, folks have their favorite choices when it comes to apples. I like a crisp flavorful apple such as a Granny Smith or a Honeycrisp especially in a salad with spinach and kale in it.
