Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Prepare the kale: remove middle thick stem from kale by tearing the leaves with your hands or using a knife or herb stripping tool. Chop the kale, then wash it thoroughly. Dry it well using a salad spinner.
Add kale to a large bowl, drizzle a small amount of olive or avocado oil, then massage the kale with your hands for about 2 minutes until it feels more tender.
Wash an orange, using a zester or cheese grater zest the skin to get a good teaspoon of zest. Then juice the orange and reserve 2 tablespoons for the dressing.
Whisk together all ingredients to make the orange vinaigrette.
Assemble kale, chopped beets, crumbled goat cheese, pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries together. Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper, then toss in the vinaigrette. Serve and enjoy!
