Taste of Tuesday; Green Salad Goodness





Kale & Mixed Green Salad With Pear, Walnuts & Dried Cranberries
This past weekend at the "Mini-Me" BBQ I made this Kale & Mixed Green salad for the first time and it was a HUGE hit.  To be honest, I took ideas from a couple of different recipes I found on Pinterest and mixed them all together to create it; and Voila! 
Makes 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups kale
  • 2 cups mixed green salad
  • 1 medium pear, cored and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1-2 tablespoons Ken's Restaurant Sweet Vidalia Onion dressing
  • Goat cheese for topping (optional)
Directions:
Toss the kale with the mixed greens, pear, walnuts and cranberries. In a mason jar, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sweet vidalia onion dressing, and pour over the salad. Toss to make sure everything is coated. Top each serving with a small amount of goat cheese, if desired.
