Ingredients

Kale Salad:

  • 6 cups chopped kale, stems and ribs removed (approximately 2 bunches)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
  • 3 tangerines or mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped

Orange Vinaigrette:

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped kale and olive oil. Use your hands to massage the kale until the leaves are tenderized, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Remove skin and white pith from the grapefruit and tangerines or mandarin oranges. Add segmented citrus pieces to the massaged kale. Top with pecans. Set aside.
  3. Add all vinaigrette ingredients to a jar, place a fitted lid on top and shake until thoroughly combined. Start by tossing the salad with half the dressing and add more if desired. Serve immediately.
