Servings: 4
- 10 oz kale, sliced thin 1 package of Trader Joe's
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup sweet and spicy pecans I use the ones from TJ's
- 1 apple, sliced thin I use Fuji apples
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
For the Dressing
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2.5 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic salt
On a salad bowl, toss kale with dried cranberries, sliced apples, and pecans.
For the dressing, mix all ingredients in a jar and mix thoroughly. Taste and add whatever you think it is missing, I usually end up adding a little bit more balsamic and garlic salt.
Add dressing to salad a little bit at a time, mixing it very well to make sure everything is covered with the dressing.
Toss in the goat cheese, mixing it slightly around the salad. Don't overdo it so you don't get the cheese to get creamy, just for presentation purposes, it does nothing to the taste.
Serve and enjoy!
