The best fall kale serving of mixed greens made with honeycrisp apples, tuscan destroyed kale, smoky pepita bunches and sweet and fiery walnuts!
This fall kale serving of mixed greens is straight out I had always wanted. It is so completely incredible that I have been dyyyying holding on to impart it to you folks. It's been so difficult to keep it a mystery on account of the unfathomable flavor this huge bowl will bring you. It's incredible.
Alright yet GUYS. The best piece of this serving of mixed greens? Is the dressing. This cinnamon shallot vinaigrette is awesome. The week that I wanted to make this serving of mixed greens, I got an email from a peruser named Lisa who had a cinnamon shallot vinaigrette and was simply raving about it. I was genuinely uncertain what I was going to put on this plate of mixed greens before that… perhaps some kind of apple juice dressing? Be that as it may, the minute she enlightened me regarding the cinnamon shallot vinaigrette, I was snared! She gave me the fixings and I went with the flow.

INGREDIENTS
SMOKY HONEY PEPITA CLUSTERS
- 1/2 cup pepitas
- 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- pinch of salt
SWEET AND SPICY TOASTED PECANS
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
CINNAMON SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 shallot diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/3 cup olive oil
SALAD
- 4 to 6 cups chopped tuscan kale
- 2 honeycrisp apples thinly sliced
- 3 ounces freshly grated sharp white cheddar cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
SMOKY HONEY PEPITA CLUSTERS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Microwave the coconut oil and honey together until melted, about 30 seconds. Stir the pepitas in a large bowl with the honey mixture, salt and smoked paprika. Place them on the baking sheet and smooth them out with a spatula – you still want them clustered so you can break them apart after baking!
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven and toss slightly. Let cool completely before breaking apart.
SWEET AND SPICY TOASTED PECANS
- Heat the pecans in a nonstick skillet over low heat, stirring often, until fragrant and toasty. Stir in the honey, red pepper flakes and nutmeg. Let the honey bubble and stir for a few minutes, then transfer the pecans to parchment paper and let them cool completely.
CINNAMON SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE
- Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, shallot, garlic, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. This keeps great in the fridge for a few days!
SALAD
- Massage the kale with a tablespoon or so of the dressing and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. I like to season the kale at this point with salt and pepper too. Slice the apples and combine the apples, cheese, pecans and pepita clusters with the kale and toss well. Serve with the vinaigrette!
