Recipe for kale salad with apples and grapes
This salad came together in 10 minutes from the contents of my fridge. It was initially just a quick side dish for dinner the other day. But it was so good that I had to make it again and measure a bit, so I could share the recipe with you…
The salad consists of just 5 ingredients and a good vinaigrette – something I almost always have on hand, as it quickly jazzes up any salad and turns it into something delicious. I also always have salted almonds on hand, as they make a wonderful topping for all sorts of dishes.
You’ll find the recipe for the vinaigrette below, and the salted almonds can be found right here if you want to make them yourself. They can also be bought ready-made in most grocery stores. The vinaigrette and almonds are essentially what make the salad, so if you make them, make a couple of good large portions, so you can quickly have a good salad ready another time.
This salad has a fine balance, where grapes provide sweetness, apples provide acidity, and the almonds add salt. The vinaigrette adds a bit of sharpness and flavor, but without being too much. A rather delightful mix that can be used for most things.
