Ever have one of those days where you're just too tired to make dinner? Me, too. But that doesn't mean you don't have an appetite. Takeout is a tempting solution, but I'm a firm believer that so many things taste better when made in your own kitchen.
I ended up with a lot of kale this year in my tiny backyard garden, so this simple salad has quickly become a favorite. Super crunchy, with just enough cheese tossed in to make it attractive to kids, it could be your go-to dish, too. It comes together in minutes and only requires a sharp knife. It can be served as a main course with a good crusty bread or as a side with those pulled pork sandwiches you're perfecting for the football season.
I added toasted sliced almonds, but it would work just as well with toasted pecans. Pick your favorite apple _ I prefer a tart Granny Smith because I think it pairs well with cheddar. A salty Parmesan makes a nice addition, too.
