RAW KALE SALAD WITH FETA, APPLES, AND PECANS
I have never used raw kale for anything except juicing, so I was really pleased that my first attempt at making a salad with it was a success. Even though I see variations of this recipe on menus all the time, I was not sure how it would work for me in a salad, so I was a bit intimidated. Browsing through the internet I found an article on massaging kale and I decided to give it a try. This is an absolute MUST if you do not want to feel like you are eating plastic. It was so good, I will have to make it again and try it out on my finicky family.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a variety of apples in your salad. Some good options include Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Braeburn. - Be sure to toast the pecans before adding them to the salad. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. - If you don't have any spiced pecans on hand, you can make your own by tossing pecans with a mixture of olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Then, roast them in the oven until they are fragrant and golden brown. - If you are using a store-bought vinaigrette, be sure to taste it before adding it to the salad. You may want to adjust the flavor by adding more vinegar, oil, or herbs. - Serve the salad immediately after assembling it. This will prevent the apples from turning brown.Conclusion:
This feta cheese, apple, and spiced pecan salad is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of fall. The combination of sweet apples, crunchy pecans, and tangy feta cheese is sure to please everyone at your table. Plus, it's a healthy and easy-to-make salad that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
