instructions
-
Step 1.
Cook the bacon rashers on a non-stick frying pan over medium hot heat for 4-5 minutes until golden. Drain the excess fat on kitchen towel and slice into small pieces.
-
Step 2.
Mix all the ingredients for vinaigrette dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 3.
Add the kale to a large bowl, add a small dash of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage the kale with your hands for a couple of minutes. This softens the leaves, improves the texture and releases some of the bitterness taste.

Step 3.
To the same bowl, add the cress, red onion, bacon, apples, cranberries, walnuts and feta. Pour vinaigrette and toss well. Serve immediately.
