Kale, Apple and Walnut Tabbouleh
Philadelphia-based chef Michael Solomonov's riff on tabbouleh salad is great to prep ahead, making for a ninja-fast assembly. Combine the lemon juice, olive oil and salt in a small container, and have it ready to go in the fridge. Toss everything together and, voilà, your salad is ready.
Solomonov recommends this as a breakfast dish, and we couldn't agree more. Shredded kale shines bright with sumac and fresh lemon juice, while walnuts, apples and pomegranate seeds add the perfect amount of crunch.
