Ingredients
Salad
- 4 lices Bacon
- ½ cup pecan toasted, pieces
- 1 bunch kale chopped (about 9 oz.)
- 4 mandarin orange peeled and segmented
Orange Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (2 oz.)
- 3 tablespoons orange juice 1.5 oz, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon honey (0.5 oz.)
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
Instructions
- Fry the bacon until crisp. Drain on a paper towel, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Toast the pecans until browned and fragrant, about 8-10 minutes in the oven. Keep an eye on them, as they can and will burn if you are not careful.
- Strip the kale leaves from the stems, then chop. Transfer to a large salad bowl or mixing bowl.
- Make the vinaigrette. Combine the olive oil, orange juice and honey in a mason jar. Seal it, and shake to combine. Give it a taste and add salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the kale leaves, and toss until they are coated.
- Add the rest of the salad ingredients to the bowl. This includes the peeled mandarin oranges, toasted pecans and chopped bacon. Toss to combine.
- Transfer into individual bowls or plates for serving, and enjoy immediately.
