Because it needs to chill before serving, this recipe is best made the night before, which means less prep at party time. I boiled my potatoes while I was making dinner, let them cool while we ate and then after dishes I put the salad together. It sat in the fridge overnight, and was ready for lunch the next day. 

Kale Apple Salad Recipe 

Ingredients: 

• 3/4 cup MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
• 1 Tbsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard
• 2 tsp. cider vinegar
• 2 lb. new red potatoes, cut in quarters, cooked & cooled
• 4 cups coarsely chopped kale
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion*
• 2 apples, cored and diced

*Note, I left the red onion out of my salad because of my family’s personal tastes. 

Mix dressing, mustard and vinegar until blended.

Combine remaining ingredients in large bowl. Add dressing mixture and mix lightly.

Refrigerate several hours or until chilled.

Optional: Sprinkle with poppyseeds or diced, cooked bacon, if desired.

4 Tips for cooking potatoes

• Make sure your potatoes are all roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
• Start with cool water and bring your potatoes to a boil. This helps make sure the potatoes cook all the way through and don’t get must on the outside while the middle is still hard.
• Leave the pot uncovered to cook.
• check potatoes for doneness with a fork. They are done when you encounter no resistance all the way through the center.

I’ve never eaten Kale before, and I was surprised by how mild it is. For some reason I was expecting something really strong. Since my grocery store carries Kale in a large – LARGE – bag, it looks like I will be coming up with some new Kale recipes too!
