Hey, Whiskers!
So this recipe basically turned my family into kale lovers, which for my siblings who are not big fans of greens, to begin with, so it was quite the feat. I love this recipe for its simplicity and freshness. I also just sliced the apple with a knife and it worked just fine, do make sure the apple is fresh and without blemishes as you want the crunch from it. I seasoned it to taste so I ended up adding more vinegar and pepper. This is a deliciously fresh bowl of summer give it a go. Until next time keep whisking up love and happiness
