Back in the day, before kale was all the rage, this salad was a staple in my kitchen. I first came across it in a small health food store in Berkeley, California. The store was run by a group of hippies who were passionate about healthy eating. They sold all sorts of organic produce, whole grains, and natural supplements. I was immediately drawn to the kale and apple salad because it looked so fresh and vibrant. I bought a bunch of kale and some apples, and I went home and made the salad. I was hooked from the first bite. The salad was so delicious and refreshing, and it made me feel good. I started eating the salad every day, and I noticed a big difference in my health. I had more energy, my skin cleared up, and I felt overall healthier. I know that kale and apple salad is not the most exciting recipe in the world, but it is one of the most important recipes in my life. It is a recipe that has helped me to live a healthier and happier life.
