Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… this… kale salad with apples and cranberries. Fancy name, huh? But don’t you worry none, it ain’t hard to make. Even this old woman can whip it up, and that’s sayin’ somethin’.
First off, you gotta get yourself some kale. Now, I ain’t gonna lie, this stuff looks like weeds. But it’s good for ya, they say. Like spinach, but… tougher. You gotta wash it good, real good. Dirt and bugs, you know, they like them greens too. So, wash it good, then chop it up. Not too big, not too small, just right. Like… like… like when you chop onions for a stew, you know?
Then you need some apples. Any kind will do, I reckon. I like the red ones, they’re sweet and crunchy. But if you got green ones, or yellow ones, go ahead and use ’em. Just chop ’em up too, same size as the kale, kinda. Make ’em match, you know, so it looks nice.
Next up is them cranberries. The dried ones, mind you. Not the fresh kind, those are too sour. The dried ones are sweet and chewy, just perfect for this salad. You don’t gotta chop them, just toss ’em in. They’re small enough as they are.
- Kale – gotta wash it good!
- Apples – any kind will do.
- Cranberries – the dried ones, ya hear?
Now, for the dressing. This is where it gets fancy… or not. I just use some olive oil, some vinegar, a little bit of honey, and some salt and pepper. That’s it! Don’t go gettin’ all complicated with fancy dressings. Simple is best, I always say. Just whisk it all together in a bowl, then pour it over the kale, apples, and cranberries. Toss it all up real good, make sure everything gets coated. And there you have it! Kale salad with apples and cranberries.
Easy peasy, right? Told ya it wasn’t hard. And it tastes good too! The kale is kinda bitter, but the apples and cranberries are sweet, and the dressing is tangy. It all balances out real nice. Plus, it’s good for you, all them vitamins and such. Better than eatin’ a bunch of fried food, that’s for sure.
Now, some folks like to add other stuff to their kale salad. Like nuts, or cheese, or even some chicken. But I like to keep it simple. Just kale, apples, cranberries, and the dressing. That’s all you need, really. But if you wanna get fancy, go ahead, knock yourself out. It’s your salad, you can do whatever you want with it. Just make sure you use enough dressing, or it’ll be too dry. And nobody likes a dry salad.
So, there you have it. My simple, down-home recipe for kale salad with apples and cranberries. Give it a try, you might be surprised. And even if you don’t like it, well, at least you tried something new. That’s what life’s all about, tryin’ new things, right? And eatin’ your greens. Don’t forget to eat your greens! They keep you healthy and strong, so you can keep on livin’ a good long life. And that’s what we all want, ain’t it? A good long life, filled with good food and good company.
