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.
