Transfer to a plate and return the skillet to the heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Transfer the sesame seeds to another plate and return the skillet to the heat. Add the maple syrup and cook until reduced and thick, about 1 minute. Return the cashews to the skillet and stir to coat in the syrup. Spread the cashews onto a sheet of foil, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, and let cool completely. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar with the apple cider, sugar, and oil until the sugar dissolves. Pour 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette into a large bowl, add the kale, and season with salt and pepper. Massage the kale with the vinaigrette and let stand until slightly wilted, at least 15 minutes. Toss the kale with the vinaigrette again and transfer to a serving platter. Toss the apple wedges in the dressing left in the bowl and arrange over the kale. Break the cashews up into small pieces and sprinkle over the salad just before serving. By: Cara Stadler Yield: serves 6-8 RECIPE FROM: https://www.saveur.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
