- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 large apple, cored and thinly sliced

- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast for 5–7 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden — watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then roughly chop.

Place the torn kale leaves in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt. Using clean hands, massage the kale firmly for 1–2 minutes until the leaves darken, soften, and reduce in volume by about half.
