Kale Salad With Apples And Golden Raisins

The perfect salad to keep in your fridge and grab at lunch time, this kale salad with apples and raisins is tangy, tart, sweet, and full of flavorful nutrition.

So, about this kale salad with apples and raisins. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, crispy, and chewy. It’s filling and satisfying.

Pair it with grilled chicken breast for a healthy meal. (Grill some beer marinated chicken and prep this salad on Sunday for easy healthy eating all week long.) You could make this kale salad with apples really fabulous by topping it with toasted walnuts, pecans, or almonds. These vanilla bean candied walnuts or spicy candied bourbon pecans would be perfect for a special meal. If you like dressing that’s more on the tangy side, cut back on the honey a bit or increase the amount of lime juice. The golden raisins in this salad lend a surprising amount of sweetness.
