Kale Waldorf Salad

This is a healthier updated version of the traditional salad.
Instead of the usual mayonnaise based dressing, we have lightened it up with a healthy mixture of walnuts, Dijon, vinegar, apples, and raisins that keeps it’s classic creamy texture.

4 cups dinosaur kale (packed)

1/2 cup walnuts, divided
¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp raisins, divided

2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar

Wash and dry kale. Finely chop into bite-sized pieces. Place kale in a large bowl. After chopping the apple, add to the bowl of kale along with half of the walnuts and ¼ cup of raisins, and celery. Put remaining apple, walnuts, 2 Tbsp of raisins, Dijon, water, vinegar and salt in a blender. Blend until well combined and slightly thick, adding water if needed to thin. Pour dressing over kale salad and toss to combine.
