Ingredients
For the salad
- 5 cups Tuscan kale leaves stems removed, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 cup diced apple I use Pink Lady
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/2 cup pecans roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
- 1/2 cup Bacon cooked and crumbled
For the dressing
- 1 tablespoon shallot minced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing.
- Place the kale in a large bowl and pour the dressing over the top. Use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale for 3-5 minutes, or until kale is tender.
- Add the apple, feta cheese, pecans, pomegranate arils and bacon to the bowl of kale. Toss to combine, then serve.
Notes
- I use Pink Lady apples in the recipe but Braeburn, Honeycrisp, Fuji and Gala apples are all great choices.
- I recommend purchasing a block of feta and crumbling it yourself. The pre-crumbled can have anti caking agents that do not taste as fresh and may dry out the cheese.
- Feel free to use a container of pre-prepared pomegranate seeds.
