Mock Whole Foods Kale

I was inspired this morning when I was looking at the produce for another meal that I was shopping for and saw such pretty Red Chard.  I had come across this really good Paleo recipe awhile ago and use a very similar dressing on my salads.Why not just add it to this beautiful red chard!



Mock Whole Foods Kale Salad

1-2 bunches Kale (Depending on size)
1/4 cup Craisins
1/4 cup Pecans, chopped

Dressing:
3 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp shallot, finely chopped
1/2 tbsp honey or agave nectar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Finely chop the shallot and whisk all the dressing ingredients together.

Wash Kale and tear kale into bite size pieces ( Always make sure you cut off most of the thick stems because of its bitter taste and is hard to eat raw)

Toss everything together.

Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for a couple hours before serving. (It will make the kale more tender)
