2. In a small bowl, combine molasses, vinegar, mustard, shallots, oil and stock, and season with salt and pepper. Toss dressing with kale, apple and cheese, and let sit at room temperature for one hour.

This salad is never not good. Roast sweet potato and beetroot with cherry tomatos and blue vein cheese on spinach leaves with balsamic vinegar reduction.

mmmmmmmmm. i’m so used to simon’s take on this kind of salad (cheery tomatoes, bococini cheese, balsamic vinegar + baby spinach and other greens), he would make it for me all the time back in 07.

status: will suggest to simon and other vegetarian tomato lovers!
