Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp vinegar, mustard, and maple syrup. Meanwhile, cut the cheese into small cubes and slice the turkey into small pieces. To bowl with kale, add dressing, tossing to combine. Stir in cheese, turkey, cranberries, nuts, and seeds. Core the apples and thinly slice. Layer apples onto salad, keeping several apple slices together, if desired.
