  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed if you have an orange around)

How To Make This Recipe

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl, and whisk with a fork or small whisk until pleasingly emulsified. Taste with a piece of kale and adjust seasonings if required.
