Chrissy Teigen's Cranberry, Pear Pecan Kale Salad Recipe

Want to delve into a bombshell cooking experience? Try making a cranberry pecan salad blue cheese kale salad recipe with model and home chef Chrissy Teigen…

Hello Sacred Bombshell,

We love Chrissy T. We are super fans of dried cranberries. We adore blue cheese aka bleu cheese. Apples, not so much. But somehow, the mystical combo of dried cranberries (think raisins), pecans, apples, and blue cheese is magical.

In our recipe, we replace apples with pears and use healthy kale for our leafy green. Any opportunity for kale salad works for us.

Thanks, Mrs. Legend!
