Kale Salad with Candied Pecans

Yes another kale salad, I am wanting to keep you on the healthy track this New Year! Kale is so good for you. Did you know it is one of the highest sources of vegetable proteins? It also helps boost your immune system. During these cold winter months that is what we all need. Kale is a super food and loaded with iron which helps to keep your hair, skin, nails and bones healthy. This leafy green is packed with vitamins and minerals. Kale can be a little tough if the leaves are over grown if this is the case it partners well with lemon and olive oil. The lemon helps tenderize the leaves. Unlike most lettuce this hardy green doesn’t get soggy. If you are entertaining and need a salad that will hold up for hours – this should be your salad of choice. You can even make it a day ahead of time. The Lemon Herb Vinaigrette is the perfect pairing with this salad and the candied pecans are a sweet bite and nice crunch.
