Prep time: 15 mins

Serves: 4-6 servings







Ingredients

Salad:

  • 6–7 cups chopped fresh kale leaves

  • 1 tablespoon Virgin Olive Oil

  • 6–8 slices cooked bacon, chopped

  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

  • 1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans

  • 1 batch Red Wine Shallot Vinaigrette

Vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup Virgin Olive Oil

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 1–2 teaspoons honey, to taste

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • pinch of salt and freshly-cracked black pepper

  • 1 small shallot, peeled and finely-chopped


Instructions

  1. To make the salad: Toss all ingredients together until combined. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before serving.

  2. To make the vinaigrette: whisk the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, mustard, salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl until completely combined. (Or you can toss everything in a mason jar and give it a good shake.) Stir in the shallot until combined. Taste, and season with extra salt and/or pepper and/or honey, if needed.
