Kale Salad with Orange, Hazelnuts and Goat Cheese

I love having a salad in the mix on Thanksgiving because it’s a bright, vegetal bite that you don’t have to cook! This kale salad celebrates the best of what late fall has to offer, with crunchy, bitter kale, sweet, juicy oranges, tangy goat cheese, and bursts of tart pomegranate seeds. My citrus vinaigrette is super simple and packed with zest, so you really use every part of the orange. Finally, the one step you cannot skip in this recipe is to massage the kale before you assemble the salad; it makes a huge difference in making sure the greens have a more tender, palatable texture!
