Preparation:
Prepare the kale:
Wash the kale, remove the thick stems, and shred finely. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and massage with your hands for 1–2 minutes until it softens.
Make the dressing:
In a small bowl or jar, combine garlic, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake well until the dressing is emulsified.
Assemble the salad:
Add the KIKU® apple slices, fresh cranberries, pistachios, strips of cured ham, and feta or gorgonzola to the kale. Pour the dressing over and gently toss everything together.
Serve:
Enjoy immediately, or let it sit in the fridge for a while to let the flavors develop even more!
