Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Place hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast 8-10 minutes, tossing once or twice, until fragrant and skins have blistered. Bundle nuts in a kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove skins. Spread out and let cool, then coarsely chop. Set aside.

- Mix together kale and Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Add about 3/4 of the dressing, and use your hands to massage dressing into greens. Taste and add more dressing as needed (you may not need all of it). Reserve any leftover dressing for another use.
- Add cheese, apple, and half of the radishes; toss together to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, and top with nuts and remaining radishes.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, Dijon, honey, and garlic. Whisk in oil in a slow steady stream until emulsified; season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss kale, apple, celery, and celery leaves with dressing; top with Parmigiano-Reggiano before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right kale. For this salad, you'll want to use lacinato kale, also known as dinosaur kale or Tuscan kale. It has a more tender texture and sweeter flavor than other types of kale.
- Massage the kale. This helps to break down the kale's tough fibers and make it more tender. Simply massage the kale with your hands for a few minutes until it starts to wilt.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples. This will help to prevent the apples from browning.
- Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant.
- Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
Conclusion:
This kale and apple salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's packed with nutrients and has a great balance of flavors. The kale is tender and slightly bitter, the apples are sweet and crisp, the pecans add a nutty crunch, and the dressing is tangy and flavorful. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering!
