3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, optional
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 teaspoon poppy seeds
3 tablespoon olive oil

To make kale and apple salad: remove the ribs of the kale and slice the kale leaves thinly into narrow ribbons. Pour a bit of olive oil on the leaves, and massage them for 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
Dice the apple into cubes or matchsticks (you may want to use a mandolin for this).
To make dressing, add finely diced onion and the rest of the dressing ingredients to a jar. Seal tightly and shake until emulsified. Pour the dressing to bowl with kale and apples, and toss until the kale apple salad is fully coated.
