Combine crunchy kale with fresh pecans, pomegranate seeds and pears for a colorful and nutritious salad that’s topped with a simple homemade dressing
Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed
- 1/3 cup + 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 2 small pears, sliced
- 3/4 cup fresh pecan halves

- 2 tablespoons course grain mustard
- Pinch of kosher salt
- Pinch of cracked black pepper
Preparation
- 1 Chop or shred kale into very small pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle kale with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and, using clean hands, massage kale for about 3 to 5 minutes or until kale becomes a glossy, deep green and begins to tenderize.
