Micro Kale & Apple Salad

Name: Micro Kale & Apple Salad
Ingredients: 1 tbs shallot minced fine; 1 small clove of garlic pressed; Micro Kale (you can use baby kale too if you want a more leafy salad); Apple, diced into lemon water (prevents browning); Pecorino cheese; 1 tbs dijon mustard; 1 1/2 tbs white wine vinegar; Salt; White pepper; 1/2 cup olive oil; Walnuts

This is a nice fall salad. I like it as a side for real food (aka meat.)

One night at Craft in LA, I had baby kale with mustard vinaigrette as a concession to being healthy. It was f-bombingly delicious. I was shocked and wouldn’t shut up about it for days. This salad grew out of that experience.
