Cranberry Kale Salad

About Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD

Award-winning public speaker, New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (aka The Paleo Mom) believes the key to reversing the current epidemics of chronic disease is scientific literacy. She creates educational resources to help people regain their health through diet and lifestyle choices informed by the most current evidenced-based scientific research.

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)
