Delightful Kale and Apple Salad with my Terrible Photography

The people at Food Network Kitchen devised this salad and it’s a beauty.

For a lively, fresh green image and the recipe for this perfectly balanced bowl of flavour and texture, go here.

I added a few raw pistachios to the toasting pan along with the almonds.

If you don’t have dates, you can of course use dried raisins, sultanas or figs.

I tumbled the apple slivers in extra lemon juice because I love that sweet-sour-crisp frisson. And I splurged on a wedge of very good pecorino.

I think a little handful of puy lentils tossed through would also go well here. 

Kale: do you love it or loathe it?
