Pear & Kale Salad

This salad is brimming with nutrient-dense superfoods, without tasting like it’s trying to teach a health class. And we’d be remiss not to dwell on the salad’s beauty, if only for a moment. With its bright emerald greens, electric reds and snowy whites, it’s a perfect salad for holidays and special occasions.
