Vegan Kale Waldorf Salad

[VeganSprig]

Ingredients

• 4 cups packed finely chopped raw kale
• 1 large red apple, such as Fuji or Honeycrisp, chopped, divided
• 1 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped, divided
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons raisins, divided
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons water, more if needed
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation
Place kale in a large bowl. Add half the apple to kale along with celery, 1/4 cup walnuts and 1/4 cup raisins. Put remaining apple in a blender along with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts, remaining 2 tablespoons raisins, mustard, water, vinegar and salt. Purée until well combined and slightly thick, adding water if needed to thin. Pour dressing over kale salad and toss to combine.



Went to a Free Health Starts Here healthy raw "un-cooking" demonstration at my local Whole Foods and have been craving this recipe since. The apples were in the prime of the season making this dish extra sweet.

I'm also a huge fan of raw kale salad. However, I find that it needs to be marinated for a couple of hours before serving.

Recently got into Waldorf salad after watching Fawlty Towers.
