Olive oil and white wine vinegar are massaged into the kale leaves, making them super tender. Pear, salt and black pepper round out the ingredient invite list. Perfection.

If you can't find fresh pears, you can substitute a tart apple. Toasted pecans or walnuts would make this simple salad recipe a little fancier and add some crunch.
