Kale Salad? I thought this was Girl Carnivore?? Don’t worry, you’re in the right place. Bacon makes everything better 😉

Don't let the knife and beautiful pork loin in the corner distract you. This is all about that leafy green salad. Piles of Kale and oh yeah, bacon. Lots and lots of bacon.

How do you get a carnivore to eat their veggies? Toss them in bacon fat. Problem solved.
There’s something about a crisp salad filled with dark greens, the snap of seasonal apples, the crunch of pecans, and the flavor of a warm bacon vinaigrette. It’s guilty. It’s wrong. It’s oh, so good. That’s where this Kale & Apple Salad with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette fits in.
But hey, at least you ate your veggies.
