KALE SALAD W/ALMONDS - Super Simple

Anyone will tell you if there are too many steps in a recipe, I don't want to be bothered. (lol) This is a simple one that's great to show off for friends at a party or to whip up for dinner at home.  Thanks to Gina Neely for this one!

1 Bunch of Kale (About 8 Ounces), stemmed and chopped
1 Diced Gala or Pink Lady Apple
1/3 Cup Roasted Salted Almonds that have been chopped
1/4 Cup Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
1/2 Cup Crumbled Feta Cheese

SALAD DRESSING
1 Tablespoon Honey
2 Tablespoons of Champagne Vinegar
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
Kosher Salt and Pepper to Taste

If you like a little extra heat, feel free to add some cayenne pepper

In a large bowl, combine all of the kale with the apple, almonds and onion.  In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and vinegar until combined, then drizzle in the olive oil until it's all emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, and cayenne if you wish.  Pour the dressing over the kale and toss for about 2 minutes.  Add in the feta and toss again.  Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes which will soften the kale. Serves about 6 people.  If you want your kale to be more crisp, serve right away intead of waiting the 30 minutes.  Yummy!
