I know kale gets a bad rap, but I promise this cranberry apple pecan kale salad will have the biggest kale haters swooning over it! It’s topped with chunks of apple, candied pecans, dried cranberries, and my favorite part – bacon!
Kale. You either love it or hate it. It’s earthy and slightly bitter, which means unless it’s chopped up and tossed into pasta (like this kale, spinach, and basil pesto baked pasta) or soup (like this veggie loaded lentil soup), my kids will not be eating it. 🤷🏻♀️
While kale may not be my green of choice, I do like the texture of it. It’s crisp and chewy. It doesn’t hurt that it’s packed full of vitamins and nutrients either. I’ve had a few kale salads over the years that I’ve really enjoyed. My sweet kale superfood salad is one, along with a kale/wild rice/butternut squash/grilled chicken salad, and this cranberry apple pecan kale salad. It’s loaded with a variety of textures and flavors that perfectly meld together.
We usually serve this as a side salad. It’s light and perfect for a heartier meal. If you want to serve it as a main dish, I’d recommend adding these ingredients:
