- 1 bunch lacinato kale (tough stems removed, leaves chopped)
- 1 apple (sliced or chopped)
- 1 avocado (sliced or chopped)
- ½ large cucumber (sliced or chopped)
- ¼ cup dried cranberries (try to find them with no sugar added)
- ¼ cup toasted chopped pecans*
- 1 recipe Citrus Tahini Dressing
*To toast pecans: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and cook until they start to turn just a tad darker and you can smell them toasting, about 4-5 minutes. Continually shake the pan or stir the nuts around so they don't burn. Don't walk away from the skillet - nuts can burn quickly!! Once toasted, transfer to a plate in a single layer to cool.
