Kale salad with pecan vinaigrette
Try our refreshing Kale Salad with zesty Pecan Vinaigrette, bursting with vibrant flavors and crunchy textures. A taste sensation!
Ingredients:
- 1½ cups pecans
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. drained capers
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- 2 large bunches Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves thinly sliced
- 1 bunch radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Place pecans on a baking sheet with edges, stir them halfway through baking, and cook until they turn slightly brown and give off a nice smell, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes. Allow them to cool down.
- Take a small amount of pecans and chop them roughly on a cutting board; keep them aside for later use.
- In a food processor, blend garlic, oil, capers, honey, and the rest of the pecans until the nuts are finely chopped. Put the mixture into a large bowl, add vinegar, and season the dressing with salt and pepper.
- Combine kale and radishes with the dressing in the bowl; mix well to cover them. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Garnish with the chopped pecans set aside earlier.
