Kale, apple and bacon salad recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2 red apples, cut into long slices
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 8 ounces kale, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
• 6 slices bacon, crumbled
• 1/3 cup toasted walnuts
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoon finely chopped shallots
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup olive oil

Directions:

1. Add cut apples to a small bowl with lemon juice. Toss to coat apples in the juice. This will help keep them from turning brown.
2. In a large salad bowl, add kale, apples, bacon and walnuts.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, shallots, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking to create a smooth and creamy dressing.
4. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to combine. Store any remaining dressing in the refrigerator.
