Chopped Apple, Kale & Parsnip Salad
To make this chopped kale salad, finely slice kale, apple, parsnip and celery, and then toss the ingredients together in a bowl. Drizzle the veggie-filled salad with miso mustard dressing, and garnish with toasted almonds. It’s a terrific, filling dinner salad or you can serve it as a side salad if you wish!
Ingredients
Instructions
Make the miso mustard dressing. In a medium bowl, combine the miso, grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk these ingredients until thoroughly mixed. You might need to go in with the back of a spoon to mash up the miso and mix it in.
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl while vigorously whisking to completely emulsify the dressing. Once you've added all of the olive oil, give it a final whisk. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Set aside.

Some time saving options for this recipe: seek out pre-chopped kale at the grocery store and if you have a mandoline slicer, use that for the apple, parsnip, and celery.
If you have a small bulb of fennel on hand, shaving it up into this salad would compliment all of the other flavours nicely.
If your celery comes with the beautiful inner leaves, they are a nice addition to this salad.
Some crumbled, soft-style vegan cheese (like this one) would be great on the top of this!

This might be my favorite salad dressing of all time. I was short on kale so did the massage kale and then bumped it up with salad greens right before serving. Used the veg in my CSA so didn't have parsnip or chive but did put in purple bell pepper and fall radish thinly sliced with the apple and we all loved it. I forgot the almonds, but not on purpose. Make this is it sooo good
Beautiful to present and delicious to eat. Rave reviews on the many occasions I’ve made this. Thank you.
Hi Laura!
Do you think this salad works also well with regular kale, instead of Lacinato kale?
Friendly FYI - almonds are not a nut. So no need to substitute them for pumpkin seeds if one is allergic to nuts (eg walnuts, hazelnuts, etc).
I've made this salad at least a dozen times - and it is absolutely fantastic. The dressing itself is perfection. It takes a lot of chopping, but that becomes a meditation with such tasty results!
Small changes I make every time (because they reflect what I generally have on hand): I sub in (or just add in) about a cup of shaved red cabbage, and use carrots instead of parsnips. I also sometimes use green onions instead of chives.
It's a really versatile, really solid recipe.
This salad is amazing! Really easy to make with such a nice combo of flavours and textures. The dressing is so good and would go well on a variety of different salads - definitely keeping it my back pocket for the future!
This is such a delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing a beautiful way to present kale. Love it with the apples.
Made this a couple times = happy diners on both occasions. Contributing this as my side for Thanksgiving - just bringing the dressing separate and waiting to slice the apples :) Thankful for you, Laura!
This was delicious! Enjoyed by all my family. Definitely be a keeper!
Another fabulous recipe! Swapped out shredded carrot for the parsnips. This salad will be on regular rotation. I had extra dressing which is always a time saver for future salads. Thanks!
This was delicious. What a great fall salad. Thank you Laura.
