For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality balsamic vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. If you prefer a softer kale, massage the chopped kale with a teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt for a few minutes before cooking. Other apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala can be substituted for Red Delicious, depending on your preference. A sprinkle of toasted nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, adds a nice crunch and nutty flavor.
