Scale
For the Dressing
- 1 small shallot or 1/2 large, finely diced* (see note below)
- 2 tablespoons mild vinegar (like red wine or apple cider)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon or brown mustard
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- A few grinds of black pepper
For the Veg
- 1 small bunch curly kale (about 6 medium leaves), stemmed and chopped into small bits
- 1 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced*
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and grated (1 cup)

Instructions
- To make the dressing, place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.

Notes
- You can sub the shallot with a few tablespoons of diced red onion.
