We found this delicious recipe at acalculatedwhisk.com




INGREDIENTS


FOR THE CANDIED PECANS


1 tablespoon butter

3/4 cup pecan halves

1 tablespoon plus

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1/8 teaspoon bittersweet

smoked paprika



FOR THE DRESSING


3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or white balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon stone ground mustard

Freshly ground black pepper



FOR THE SALAD


5 cups lightly packed torn kale leaves (center stems removed)

1 ripe peach, sliced

1/2 cup blueberries

2 ounces crumbled chèvre





INSTRUCTIONS


To make the candied pecans, heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat.


Add the pecan halves, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and a couple of pinches of sea salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the pecans are coated in a sticky glaze and no liquid remains in the pan, about 8 minutes.


Transfer the pecans to a parchment-lined plate and spread them out in a single layer to cool.


Mix all the dressing ingredients with a fork in a large bowl.


Add the kale leaves, toss to coat them with the dressing, and massage them by hand until reduced in volume, darker green, and tender, 2 to 3 minutes.


Transfer the kale to a platter or divide it between individual serving plates.


Top with the peach slices, blueberries, crumbled goat cheese, and candied pecans.
