Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup pecans
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons almond butter or natural peanut butter
• 1/2 bunch Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn (about 2 cups)
• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
• 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise on a mandoline

Instructions

1. Whisk oil, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl to combine; set aside.
2. Salad: Cook pecans and oil in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until nuts are darkened in color, 5–7 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop so you have a variety of sizes, with some pieces almost pulverized. Set aside 2 tablespoons nuts for serving. Whisk almond butter and 1 tablespoon vinaigrette in a medium bowl to combine. Add kale and massage dressing into leaves with your hands until evenly coated; season with salt and pepper. Toss fennel, zucchini, radishes, cauliflower, tomatoes, watercress, farro, and remaining pecans in a large bowl with remaining vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper. Add kale and toss to combine. Drizzle with oil and serve topped with reserved pecans.
