Ingredients

For the slaw:

  • 1 bunch kale (about 6 cups) ribs removed and discarded, leaves cut into thin strips
  • 1 red apple (preferably crisp, I used pink lady) cored, seed removed, and cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 medium red onion cut into thin strips

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss together kale, apple, and red onion.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients until well combined.
  • Drizzle dressing over kale and apple slaw, toss well, and serve.

Notes

  • To make this recipe vegan, simply substitute the honey with another liquid sweetener like agave nectar.
  • Add some extra crunch with walnuts, sunflower seeds, or your favorite nut/seed.
  • I used my food processor to shred the apple for this slaw, though you could also cut it finely yourself or just leave it in large chunks if you prefer.
  • To prevent your apple from browning, shred it right before coating the salad with the dressing, or drizzle a little lime or lemon juice onto it.
  • I used a Pink Lady apple for this recipe, but you could use your favorite instead.  Ideally, you want a crisp apple for this slaw so that it doesn't just get all mushed in with everything else.
