APPLE & RUTABAGA SALAD WITH DATE VINAIGRETTE

Here’s another fall apple recipe, this time from Table Magazine.

Ingredients

For the vinaigrette:

• 1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar

• 3 dates, pitted

• 1 tbsp preserved lemon mustard

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the salad:

• 1 bunch lacinato kale

• 1 Honeycrisp apple

• 4 dates, pitted and chopped

• 1 Granny Smith apple

• 1 rutabaga

Prep

1. In a blender, mix together all of the vinaigrette ingredients and blend until smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. Chop kale and add to a large bowl. Add half of the vinaigrette and massage the kale.

3. Chop apples, dates, and rutabaga, then add to the massaged kale.

4. Drizzle with more vinaigrette and serve. You can also add protein to this, such as chicken breast. (I added baked chicken thighs).

Enjoy!
