Sometimes simplicity wins, and this cranberry kale salad is definitely a win! I love the combination of the salty bacon crunch, the bittersweet kale, the tangy cranberries, and the zingy red onion. It’s one of those salads that’s crazy easy to make yet hits all those buttons! Ooh, and it’s completely autoimmune protocol friendly too, so another win! And, if you’re planning a turkey dinner sometime this holiday season, it’s a great side dish (although, it’s one of those salads that’s lovely beside almost any protein!).
Note: pine nuts are a lovely addition to this salad! Add 1/3-1/2 a cup when you mix in the other ingredients! (pine nuts are not AIP, however)
