As many know, I am not a very healthy eater. I would rather grab a donut than a handful of kale. So in order to entice me to eat healthier, it’s gotta have some sweet and crunch to it. Oh and throw some cheese in there too!

This Kale and Apple salad is so delicious that I believe I could actually pass on eating that donut (well, maybe not so fast!) but really. It has everything in it that has my tastebuds salivating and makes my heart skip-a-beat. Plus, everything in it is so good for you and the best part…it’s so simple to make.
