Instructions
- Toast the pecans in a frying pan over medium heat until fragrant and light brown, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Add the maple syrup, salt, pepper, and cayenne powder. Cook, stirring frequently until the pan is dry, about 2-3 minutes. Stir through the optional butter, if using. Place pecans on a piece of parchment paper in a single layer and set them aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients. Pour the dressing over the kale and massage it gently.
- Plate the salad and top with the candied pecans, pomegranate seeds, and some fresh ground pepper.
