Kale salad with apple, roasted carrots and walnuts

This colorful autumn salad is a perfect balance of flavors of the season. Marinated raw kale forms the base. Caramelized roasted carrots with maple syrup add warmth and earthiness. While crisp apple bites bring a refreshing contrast. Topped with pecans for a nice crunch, this salad is ideal as a side dish or a light main course.
