Kale Salad with Apples and Chicken
This Kale Salad with Apples and Chicken combines shredded chicken with chopped kale, diced apples, dried cherries, raisins, red onions, and walnuts. The fresh kale provides a sturdy leafy base with a slightly bitter note, balanced by the sweetness of the apples and dried fruit. Tossed with an apple cider vinaigrette, the salad is a mix of sweet, tangy, crunchy, and savory flavors, suitable for a light meal or accompaniment.
