Kale and Apricot Medley Salad

This kale and apricot medley salad is a great way to get your daily dose of greens. The kale is massaged with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, which helps to soften it and make it more palatable. The apricots add a touch of sweetness, the walnuts add a bit of crunch, and the feta cheese adds a bit of saltiness. This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals, and it's also delicious.

This recipe was inspired by a salad that I had at a restaurant in New York City. I was so impressed by the salad that I decided to try to recreate it at home. I experimented with different ingredients and proportions until I came up with this recipe. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and I think you will be too.
