Instructions

  1. Combine all dressing ingredients and stir together until honey dissolves then set aside.
  2. Rinse and strip kale leaves. Chop in bite-sized pieces. I rinse the chopped leaves a second time to ensure there isn't any dust hidden in the curly leaves then dry in a salad spinner.
  3. Place kale in a salad bowl, top with 1 cup craisins and drizzle with dressing. Use hands to stir well and massage lightly until kale just starts to wilt. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Before serving, add sliced apples, sliced pears, thinly sliced onions and toasted pecans. Toss to combine.
