First clean your kale and dry it by using a salad spinner or paper towels.
Cut the kale and place it in the large bowl. Then, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. Now massage the kale with your hands, rubbing the kale together until it shrinks down and there's extra virgin olive oil and salt throughout all the kale.
Next, roughly chop the pecans and add them to the kale. Also, add the dried cranberries to the bowl.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic and whisk together.
Add the dressing to the kale and mix with the tongs. Transfer the salad to the serving bowl and then top it with the honey goat cheese.
