Instructions
1 Fry the bacon until crisp. Drain on a paper towel, then chop into bite-sized pieces. 2 Toast the pecans until browned and fragrant, about 8-10 minutes in the oven. Keep an eye on them, as they can and will burn if you are not careful. 3 Strip the kale leaves from the stems, then chop. Transfer to a large salad bowl or mixing bowl. 4 Make the vinaigrette. Combine the olive oil, orange juice and honey in a mason jar. Seal it, and shake to combine. Give it a taste and add salt and pepper, if necessary. 5 Drizzle the vinaigrette over the kale leaves, and toss until they are coated. 6 Add the rest of the salad ingredients to the bowl. This includes the peeled mandarin oranges, toasted pecans and chopped bacon. Toss to combine. 7 Transfer into individual bowls or plates for serving, and enjoy immediately.View original recipe
