Ingredients

  • 3 cups kale de-stemmed, washed and torn
  • 1 pear sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons candied pecans
  • 3 tablespoons vegan blue cheese crumbled

Vegan Honey-Apple Vinaigrette Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons vegan honey alternative or agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Salad

  • In a bowl, place the salad greens. Add the pear slices, cranberries, candied pecans and vegan blue cheese on top - if you'd like, toss the toppings together in a bowl first then sprinkle on top of greens.

Vegan Honey-Apple Vinaigrette Dressing

  • Whisk the ingredients together and pour over the salad.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, keeping the dressing separate if possible. (While kale does hold up well to being stored with dressing, the liquid from the dressing with melt off the coating from the candied pecans, so I like storing them separately!)
