How to Make

  • Step 1: To make the vinaigrette: whisk vinaigrette ingredients (oil - salt) in a small bowl or jar and set aside.

  • Step 2: To make the salad: in a skillet over medium heat cook the pecans and oil, stirring often until the nuts darken in color (5-7 minutes). Let cool and then chop so there is a variety of sizes. Set aside 2 tablespoons for serving.

  • Step 3: In a bowl whisk together the almond butter and 1 tablespoon vinaigrette. Add kale, toss and season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 4: In a large bowl toss the rest of the vegetables (fennel - watercress), farrow and remaining pecans with the remaining vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper. Add kale and toss. Drizzle with oil and serve topped with reserved pecans.
