- 4 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp honey (or sugar)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 bunch kale ((8 cups loosely packed) well rinsed)
- 1 cup craisins (dried cranberries)
- 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 apple ((I used a crisp fuji apple))
- 1 pear ((firm))
- 1 cup pecans (toasted on a dry skillet)
Steps
Combine all dressing ingredients and stir together until honey dissolves then set aside.
Rinse and strip kale leaves. Chop in bite-sized pieces. I rinse the chopped leaves a second time to ensure there isn't any dust hidden in the curly leaves then dry in a salad spinner.
Place kale in a salad bowl, top with 1 cup craisins and drizzle with dressing. Use hands to stir well and massage lightly until kale just starts to wilt. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, add sliced apples, sliced pears, thinly sliced onions and toasted pecans. Toss to combine.
