Kale, Apple and Walnut Salad
Make on Fresco
A quick and super-tasty salad that seems too easy to be true! Kale, apple and walnut, a healthy match made in heaven!
A truly delicious and easy salad, that believe it or not featured in the wintery cold weather class called Comforting Comfort Foods, which will be trotted out around the east coast this year. (2015) Melbourne classes are in store now. Sydney and Bris-Vegas to follow. But put that aside, this salad is good year round, all weathers, and is totally a fave in our house. We trot it out as a special occasion salad, because it is a little bit special. The crispy little saltiness of the proscuitto, the sweetness of the apple and the creaminess of the walnut dressing...what's not to comforting about all that? Comfort yourself...go on!
