The Talk of the Potluck Kale and Apple Salad image

A favorite for potlucks, family gatherings, and hot summer nights at home. With a food processor to chop the kale, I can be done and out the door to a party within 25 minutes - and that includes 5 minutes to find my keys. My kids love this salad when I add lots of apples!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover kale. It's also a great make-ahead salad. You can make it the night before and it will be just as good the next day.
