Combine all ingredients into a high-speed blender and mix until the vinaigrette is smooth and creamy. Pause once to scrape down sides.
Adjust consistency with additional apple cider or water as desired.
Add kale to a large mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of the Apple Cider Walnut Vinaigrette and a pinch of fine sea salt. Using your hands, gently massage the dressing into the greens to help tenderize the kale.
Add remaining salad ingredients and toss to combine. Optional: reserve another tablespoon of the vinaigrette to drizzle on top after the salad is mixed.
Divide evenly into bowls and drizzle with the reserved dressing if using.
