Not Your Typical Boring Salad
FALL HARVEST ROASTED PEAR AND KALE SALAD (Serves 6)
INGREDIENTS: (all organic if possible)
2 cups of baby kale or other favorite dark leafy green
2 pears
2 tablespoons shallot, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (Braggs)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon flax seed oil (or add more olive oil in place)
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries (no sugar added)
Sea Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Wash the pears and cut in half. Remove the core and seeds by using a spoon to scoop out the middle. Slice the pears into thin strips and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they begin to soften, then remove from oven and cool.
Whisk the shallot, Dijon and apple cider vinegar together in a bowl. Slowly add in the oils while stirring vigorously. Season with sea salt and pepper.
Place greens in a bowl and toss with dressing. Greens can sit with the dressing overnight, or add the roasted pears, cranberries and walnuts and serve immediately.
