Ingredients

curly kale 200g
lemon 1, juiced
sea salt 1 tsp
celery 3 stalks, peeled with a potato peeler and cut into diagonal pieces
red apples 2, cut into thin wedges
seedless green grapes 150g, halved
pecans 50g, toasted
buttermilk 125ml
greek yogurt 3 tbsp
garlic 1 clove, crushed
white wine vinegar 1 tbsp
parsley finely chopped, to make 1 tbsp

Method

Step 1

Strip the leaves from the kale and discard any tough stalks. Wash really well then dry in a clean tea towel or with kitchen roll. Put the kale in a bowl with the lemon juice and 1 tsp sea salt. Using your hands, rub the lemon and salt into the leaves (this will help tenderise the kale).
Step 2

Add the celery, apples and grapes and toss it all together, then leave for 10 minutes while you prep all the other ingredients.
Step 3

Mix the dressing ingredients and season. Add to the kale bowl and toss again. Pile the salad onto a platter, top with the pecans and serve.
