1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c. apple cider vinegar
1/3 c. olive oil
freshly ground pepper
1/4 t. salt
1 1/2 T. Dijon
1 bunch kale, stemmed and torn into small pieces
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
1/4 c. raisins
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

In a blender, combine garlic, vinegar, oil, 10-15 grinds of a pepper mill, salt, and Dijon. Blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper, if desired.

Place kale pieces in a serving bowl, then add apple, raisins, and walnuts. Pour dressing over top and toss to coat.

Notes: We like to toast the walnuts.
