Shaved Honeycrisp Apple and Kale Salad

I have been LOVING this salad at Oak at 14th in Boulder. I'm so glad to have recipe. The red pepper cuts the sour lemon just perfectly. I used cayenne pepper as I couldn't find the Japanese one. This is also great as a main dish with grilled chicken.

So tasty and so simple. Love the way the pepper adds contrast to the sweet apples. I used red pepper flakes as I couldn't find the Japanese version quickly enough.

I loved this salad! Kale was never my favorite, but I could not stop eating it. I did leave out the ichimi togarashi because I had none. While making this, I was concerned about the amount of lemon juice, but it was perfect! I will be making this on a regular basis.
