Instructions

  • Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, brown sugar, and honey into a small bowl.
    3 tablespoon Olive oil, 2 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoon Mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Brown sugar, 1 teaspoon Honey
  • Whisk the ingredients and combine well, until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Wash the ruffled kale well, so any sandy soil trapped it rinsed out. You can also use a bag of pre-washed kale.
    8 cup Curly Kale
  • Remove the tough stems from the ruffled or curly kale and rough chop. Wash and cut apples in half, core, and then dice with the skins on.
    2 medium Apples
  • Heap the kale into a large shallow salad bowl, and then add the diced apples, blueberries, Craisins, sunflower seeds, and crumbled bacon.
    2 cup Blueberries, ½ cup Craisins, ¼ cup Sunflower seeds, ¼ cup Bacon Bits
  • Toss well to combine, then garnish with the crumbled feta cheese. Dress with the vinaigrette, or serve it on the side with the blueberry kale salad at the table.
    ½ cup Feta crumbles

Notes

  • Use pre-washed ruffled kale to save time.
  • Real Bacon crumbles are great when you don't have time to cook freshly made bacon.
  • Mix up the ingredients: try different nuts and seeds, dried fruits, and fresh fruits.
