Fall Harvest Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

This salad is so simple and the flavors are so fresh and inviting.

Serve this on it’s own or topped with grilled salmon or chicken for a delicious and healthy meal.

1. Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small bowl.

2. Add kale to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette. Massage for 30 seconds with your (clean!) hands or with tongs to soften the leaves.

3. Add cabbage, fennel, fennel fronds and apple and toss to combine.

4. Add pistachios and parmesan and another 2 tablespoons of vinaigrette and toss again to combine.

5. Transfer salad to serving dishes. Serve remaining vinaigrette on the side.
