Ingredients

6 servings
  • 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

  1. Combine all dressing ingredients and stir together until honey dissolves then set aside.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Before serving, add sliced apples, sliced pears, thinly sliced onions and toasted pecans. Toss to combine.
