📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add pancetta (or bacon, if using) to a small skillet then turn the heat to medium-low. Cook until pancetta is browned and crispy, stirring often, ⏱️ 8-10 minutes. Scoop onto a paper towel lined plate to drain then set aside.

Meanwhile, wash and dry kale then tear leaves away from the thick stems and chop into bite-sized pieces. Add to a large mixing bowl with a pinch of salt then use your fingertips to massage and crush the kale until it’s tender and reduced by half in volume, ⏱️ 1 minute. Add almonds, dried cranberries, red onion, apple, and crisped pancetta.
