Fruit and Kale Salad With Lemon Vinaigrette

 

I love walking out to my winter or summer garden and gathering some fresh kale for a nice salad. In this recipe I added some apples, pears and red onions, then topped it with a delicious lemon vinaigrette and last we sprinkled it with toasted almonds. I really enjoy a flavorful salad with all these very fresh ingredients. This is a great garden to table recipe!
