aaaand another kale salad. are you tired of them yet?

Got this delish and super easy kale salad recipe from my friend Lucy, and she got it from http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2013/12/christmas-kale-salad.html

I left out the onions for my little man's sake and used OJ from the carton instead of fresh b/c thats all i had (i feel so guilty for writing that since we live in southern california....) You might want to add just a squirt of honey to the dressing as well. enjoy!

This is straight from their webpage:


Christmas Kale Salad
Salad:
1 large bunch green curly kale, chopped
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dried cranberries (fruit-juice sweetened)
1/2 cup pecans, roasted*

Dressing:
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon organic Dijon mustard
1 to 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Herbamare or sea salt

Place the kale into a large serving bowl. Add the onions and cranberries; set aside. To make the dressing, place all of the ingredients into a small jar, cover, and shake. Pour dressing over the salad and toss together. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving (this softens the kale and melds the flavors). Then add the roasted pecans and serve (if you add the pecans earlier they will soften and not have that delicate crunch).

*Note: To roast pecans, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place pecans into a glass pie plate or other small baking dish. Roast for 15 to 18 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't burn! Remove from oven and place onto a plate to cool before adding them to the salad.

Yield: about 6 servings
